Scintillation counters are used for measuring radioactivity, in a variety of disciplines, from medicine to nuclear physics, depending on the sensitivity of the counter.
Our scintillation counters are very sensitive and consist mainly of special crystal sensors, of photo multiplier linked to computers all calibrated for geological analysis.
Through these crystal sensors, which consist, depending on the application, of different cultivated crystal combinations, gamma rays are received, converted into light flashes, and strengthened as electric impulses by a photo multiplier. The data is recorded in impulses per second (ips). The strength of the light impulses is proportional to the energy of the minerals being searched for. Therefore, characteristic gamma energy levels are retrievable. The retrieved data recorded by graphical software.
The sensitivity of our scintillation counters allows quick recognition, and processing of the search area.
Depending on the size of the area to be examined, the examination takes can be by foot, 4-wheel-drive vehicle, or by helicopter.
