Product Information:_..

X-ray detector for recording energy spectra of X-rays or γ radiation in the energy range of approx. 2 keV to 60 keV. It mainly consists of a Si-PIN photodiode which is integrated in a metal housing together with a charge sensitive preamplifier, a main amplifier with pulse shaping and a digital signal processing circuit. The detector holder is particularly designed for installation on the swiveling arm of the X-ray apparatus (U192001 and U192001-US). The power supply is ensured via the USB port of a PC. Including CD with measuring and evaluation software for PC.
