ORTEC 905 Series

NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors, 1 × 1 to 4 × 4 in

NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors with photomultiplier tubes in four sizes, from 1 × 1 to 4 × 4 in. The detectors are assembled and supplied to ORTEC by companies that specialise in NaI(Tl) detectors, and specifications may vary slightly depending on the original manufacturer. Special configurations such as well detectors and thyroid counters are available on special order.

Detector type
NaI(Tl) scintillator with photomultiplier tube1
Typical energy resolution, Cs-137
About 7% for a 3 in diameter by 3 in long crystal, slightly worse for larger sizes (manufacturer’s general figure for NaI(Tl))1
