SVGps
The Bruker SVGps Radiation Survey Meter is a high precision, handheld system that uses a combination of Geiger-Mueller counting tubes and semiconductor detectors. The system includes a lightweight external probe that detects alpha-, beta-, gamma- and x-ray radiation simultaneously. The probe extends the upper detection limit by a factor of five. Neutron radiation is detectable with an optional probe.
