Alpha Beta probe

An Alpha Beta Probe is a highly sensitive, handheld radiation detection instrument specifically designed to measure surface contamination from alpha and beta particles. Unlike standard Geiger counters that primarily detect gamma rays, these probes use a thin, fragile window (often mica) that allows low-penetrating alpha particles to enter the detection chamber. This makes them essential for nuclear facilities, health physics, emergency response, and environmental monitoring to identify and map low-level radioactive contamination on equipment, skin, clothing, and work surfaces that could pose an internal hazard.

• Ultra-thin window (e.g., mica) to detect low-penetration alpha radiation (from Plutonium, Uranium).

• Also detects beta particles from isotopes like Strontium-90 and Cobalt-60.

• Used for routine contamination surveys in labs, reactors, and decommissioning sites.

• Critical for personal decontamination procedures following a radiological incident.

• Often features audible clicks and a digital readout in counts per second (CPS) or dose rate.

• An indispensable tool for health physics and CBRNe reconnaissance teams.
