A series of three ergonomically balanced probes with a square window of 8 in2 (50 cm2) and a 64° angled handle.
Equivalent to the NE BP7, there are three versions available:
- Alpha only (Zinc sulphide layer).
- Beta only (Plastic scintillator).
- Alpha/Beta (Zinc sulphide bonded to a plastic scintillator).
The use of a plastic scintillator avoids the traditional use of anthracene in this application, with a comparable response.
