NitroSPEC Hand Held HPGe Spectrometer

DESCRIPTION

The NitroSPEC the world’s smallest liquid nitrogen cooled Spectrometer which is based on High Purity Germanium (HPGe) semiconductor detectors. The NitroSPEC is providing the complete range of functions and features which are offered by regular laboratory Spectrometer based on HPGe detectors but in a really miniature composition of all major components. During the development of the NitroSPEC, Baltic Scientific Instruments R&D specialists were aimed at HPGe detector, Dewar vessel for liquid nitrogen, MCA with software package and visualization monitor integration in only one miniature monounit to provide easy and comfortable use. Due to the fact that during the measurement no cables are needed, the operator is unrestricted in his mobility. Power supply is no longer an issue as everything is integrated.
