Alpha Scintillation Probes/Data
This 50 cm²
ZnS scintilla-
tion probe
offers excellent
alpha responses,
a low mechanical
profile and a conve-
niently angled grip. Easily-
repaired windows are provided with
protective covers for storage.
Uniformity is within ±10% over the
whole phosphor surface.
The A50L is used for general purpose
alpha monitoring. This probe can be
matched with Thermo's portable sur-
vey meters, such as the ASP-2, E-600,
RM-25, or Electra/Delta series. See
also AC-3.
• Light weight, low profile, angled grip
• Large radiation window, hex-mesh
grills, protective storage covers
• Connector, MHV
• Uniformity within ±10% over the

Alpha
probe
with a
ZnS phos-
phor used for
survey and frisk-
ing in a lightweight cast
aluminum body. The radia-
tion window is 0.50 mg/cm² thick,
made of aluminized mylar. The AC-3-8
is fitted with a mesh grille. This probe
can be matched with Thermo's
portable survey meters, such as the
ASP-2, E-600, RM-25, or Electra/Delta
series.
