DETECTIVE-X Trans-SPEC Edition
DETECTIVE-X Trans-SPEC Edition is a portable high purity germanium detector for in-situ measurements. It can be used as a stand-alone instrument to collect spectra in the field or controlled by a computer. This can be upgraded to a full 3 MeV or 8 MeV model including radioisotopic identification applications and does rate calibration.
