FEATURES
- EXCELLENT ALPHADETECTION
- ZERO BACKGROUND
- RUGGED METAL HOUSING
This is an excellent ALPHA detector with ZERO BACKGROUND in gamma fields, up to 1 R/hr. A low-density Mylar window of 0.7 mg/cm2 enables the high-efficiency detection of alpha down to 3 MeV. The Crystal and PMT are mounted in a shock resistant metal housing.
