Beta Photon Probe

The Beta Photon Probe is a specialized radiation detection instrument designed for the simultaneous or selective measurement of beta particle and gamma photon (X-ray) radiation. Unlike standard Geiger counters, this sophisticated probe uses a specialized detector—often a plastic scintillator or a thin-window GM tube—that is highly sensitive to beta radiation while also effectively detecting gamma rays. It is a critical tool for health physicists, nuclear technicians, and first responders for contamination surveys, source identification, and dose assessment in mixed radiation fields, such as those found in nuclear facilities, medical isotope labs, or after a radiological incident.

Key Technical Capabilities:
– Dual Radiation Detection: Specifically engineered to detect and measure both high-energy beta particles (e.g., from Sr-90, P-32) and gamma/X-ray photons.
– Thin Entrance Window: Features an ultra-thin mica or polymer window that allows low-energy beta particles to enter the detection chamber without significant attenuation.
– Energy Discrimination & Counting: Advanced models can discriminate between beta and gamma signals, providing separate count rates or dose rate contributions for each.
– Contamination Mapping: Essential for finding and mapping surface beta contamination on equipment, skin, or clothing, which gamma-only probes might miss.
– Ruggedized & Decontaminable: Housed in a robust, waterproof casing that can be easily cleaned to prevent cross-contamination during surveys.
– Direct Readout & Alarming: Provides real-time dose rate and count rate readings with audible and visual alarms for safe operational guidance.
