3B Scientific 1008707 NaITl Scintillation Detector

NaI(Tl) Scintillation Detector. An energy-sensitive detector for identifying Gamma-ray and X-ray fluorescent radiation with high Probability. It can record energy spectra, which can be calibrated, and measure the relative intensity of the radiation. Incoming radiation causes a thallium-doped sodium iodide crystal to emit brief pulses of light, which are then converted into electrical pulses in Proportion to the energy of the radiation by means of a photomultiplier affixed to the apparatus. The crystal is Protected against light penetrating from outside by a thin aluminium cover. The photomultiplier is Protected from interference by external magnetic fields by means of mu-metal shielding.

Features:

• Relative energy resolution: 8% apProx. at 662 keV
• Connector socket: 14-pin, with centring aid
• Aluminium cover: 0.5 mm apProx.
