Si-Pin detector XR-100CR

XR-100CR is a gamma detector with a cooling system based on the Peltier effect. This detector is usually used in laboratory conditions that require medium energy resolution and low count rates. The detector is well suited for X-ray fluorescence analysis, identification of metal alloy markings, detection of lead in paint.

The maximum cooling temperature is -55 ºС and is controlled by a built-in temperature sensor.
