Micro-Detective-HX
The Micro-Detective-HX features a 50 mm diameter HPGe crystal in a “hardened” cryostat is cooled by an integrated low-power Stirling-cycle cryo-cooler. The hardened cryostat is entirely free of conventional molecular sieve, allowing the instrument to be turned off or on at any point in the detector cool down or warm up cycle without risk. A built-in digital MCA system and powerful data processor are included. All models feature the same VGA resolution display, readable in direct sunlight, with a touch sensitive operator screen. The radionuclide gamma-ray spectrum may be displayed and manipulated (e.g., vertical scale, zoom) like a conventional multichannel analyzer. Gamma and neutron count rate and gamma dose rate are displayed continuously both numerically and in bar graph form.
