We analyze the issue of the interpretation of the wavefunction, namely whether it should be interpreted as describing individual systems or ensembles of identically prepared systems. We propose an experiment which can decide the issue, based on the simultaneous measurement of the same observable with different detectors, and we discuss the theoretical implications of the possible experimental outcomes.
