Peel from the case to the element. Follow the readout through this conceptual model.
Drag to rotate; pinch to zoom. With the view focused: arrow keys rotate, + / − zoom, 1–3 choose a layer, Home resets rotation and zoom. Step advances to the next layer; Reset returns to the case and default view. Layer buttons select a view directly. The page does not move on its own.
A photodiode produces current in response to incoming light. [Overview: Photons In, Current Out · Photodiode current]
Teaching view: The brown package has a top window and two silver leads. Light reaches the detector through the window, and the leads provide its electrical connections.

A transimpedance amplifier converts photodiode current into a usable voltage. [Transimpedance and ToF Readout]
Teaching view: The detector chip sits on a metal support connected to the leads, beside a gold connection pad. An external amplifier connects to the detector and turns its current into voltage.
Incoming photons free charge carriers, producing current proportional to the light landing on the photodiode. [Overview: Photons In, Current Out · Photodiode current]
Teaching view: The purple surface represents the light-sensitive part of the photodiode above a blue layer, beside a gold connection pad. Incoming light frees charge carriers in the photodiode and produces current.
Explode separates the conceptual layers; X-ray makes the case translucent. External package dimensions follow the model specification; internal teaching geometry is conceptual, not to scale, and is not manufacturer CAD or a wiring diagram.
