High resolution calorimetry with state-of-the-art energy resolution performance for both electromagnetic (EM) and hadronic signals can be achieved using the dual-readout (DR) technique, both in a homogeneous scintillating-crystal calorimeter and in a traditionalfiber and absorber-based DR hadronic section. We present results from the CalVision consortium studying the collection of Cerenkov and scintillation signals in PbWO4 and BGO crystal samples exposed to 120 GeV proton beams at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, including proof-of-principle measurements aimed at demonstrating the identification of a sufficiently large Cerenkov signal in homogeneous scintillating crystals to support dual-readout capability.
