Overview
The Thermo Scientific™ RadEye™ HEC+ portable sample counting system provides simultaneous alpha and beta radiation measurements. The system incorporates a windowless, low noise, dual phosphor scintillation detector sensitive for beta emitters from approximately 10 keV, low energy X-ray emitters from approximately 3 keV and alpha emitters. Features include simultaneous alpha/beta measurements in classic mode, special EC-Mode for low energy beta emitters and electron capture nuclides, 800 hours battery operation, customized library of up to 16 nuclides with automated half life correction, and maintenance-free operation with sophisticated low power technology components and microprocessor-based fully automatic self checks.
- Simultaneous alpha/beta measurements in classic mode
- EC-Mode measures low energy beta emitters (e.g. Ni-63) and electron capture nuclides (e.g. Fe-55, Mn-54, Cr-51)
- Cost effective alternative to liquid scintillation counters for Ni-63 and H-3 samples
- 800 hours battery operation
- Customized library of up to 16 nuclides with automated half life correction
- Simple detector performance verification with 9 g Lutetium Test Adapter
