DESCRIPTION
Radionuclides Identifier for Gamma Analysis HandSPEC is a complete spectrometer based on high-purity germanium detector. Cooling system of HandSPEC consists of special cryostat which incorporates Stirling-cycle cryocooler with Pulse tube. HandSPEC is intended for gamma-radiation registration, spectra processing, radionuclides identification and their activities determination by various methods.
HandSPEC has internal processor and spectrometric device to control all spectrometer parameters, perform measurements and store spectra and analysis results in internal memory. Visualization of the results and control of spectrometer parameters is made via built-in touch screen having resolution 800×400 pixels and diagonal 10.8 cm. Battery status indicator in the right upper corner of the screen shows time to recharging of the instrument. Internal processing digital electronics on the basis of 16k channels MCA and is controlled from touch screen. High voltage supply for detector and preamplifier power supply are integrated as well as an internal coarse amplifier and digital filtering and analysis..
