A device covering a variety of radiation detector probe designs incorporating a solid-state semiconductor serving as an ionization chamber. It is used as a component of a survey meter or analytical instrument used for radiation detection and measurement. It is typically used to detect low amounts of radioactivity and its energy discrimination properties allow it to be incorporated in radiation detection, measurement instruments and radiation spectroscopy systems. The composition and impurities in the semiconductor material used determine its energy discrimination capabilities and the kind of radiation (x-ray, gamma ray, high-energy beta particles or neutrons) that can be detected.
After cleaning, allow the detector, cable and connector to dry thoroughly, and then place in the storage case along with any accessories.
