Silicon detection block with thermoelectric cooling BDER-KI-11K.
It is designed to convert the energy of X-ray and low-energy gamma radiation quanta into electrical signals proportional in amplitude and amplify them for subsequent recording by spectrometric equipment.

MAIN ADVANTAGES:
Application areas: nuclear energy, geology, metallurgy, environmental control systems, recycling, customs control and forensics.
Can be used as part of X-ray fluorescence analyzers for rapid determination of the elemental composition of a substance.
The detection unit is designed to operate in conditions corresponding to the UHL category 5.1 GOST 15150-69.
