Images SI Geiger Counter Nuclear Radiation Detector Handheld

Description

Product Overview

The Images SI handheld personal nuclear radiation detector is a professional-grade instrument designed for fast, accurate radiation monitoring. This compact device measures 7.5 x 4.1 x 1.2 inches and weighs just 1.46 pounds, making it highly portable for field use. The detector features an American-made LND712 GM tube that detects alpha particles above 3 MeV, beta radiation above 50 KeV, and X-ray and gamma radiation above 7 KeV. With counting resolution from 1 Count Per Minute to 10,000 Counts Per Second, and radiation measurement range from 0.001 mR/hr to 1,000 mR/hr (imperial) or 0.01 uSv/hr to 10 mSv/hr (metric), this device provides comprehensive radiation detection capabilities. The unit is ANSI N323A certification ready, with certification available at additional cost from the manufacturer.

Usage

This radiation detector is suitable for multiple environments including industrial facilities, educational institutions, emergency response teams, and personal safety applications. Professionals in nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research laboratories will find it essential for routine radiation monitoring and safety compliance. Homeowners living near nuclear facilities or in areas with natural radiation sources can use it for peace of mind. The device is also valuable for educators teaching radiation physics and for emergency responders assessing potential radiation hazards. Its handheld design makes it perfect for field surveys, environmental monitoring, and quick radiation assessments in various scenarios.
