Model 19 MicroR Meter

Model 19 MicroR radiation Survey meter

The Model 19 MicroR survey meter is usefulfor low level gamma survey at that microR level. It is a compact, rugged, internal scintillation detector survey meter. The Model 19 Micro R survey meter includes an internal 1 in. x1 in. NaI detector, five ranges and splash proof shields for outdoor use. No external detector is required. Sensitivity, based on Cs-137 gamma, is typically 175 cpm/microR/hr. This meter over-responds to scatter and low energy gamma which makes it more sensitive than any survey meter available. Range selections include 0 - 25, 0 - 50, 0 - 250, 0 - 500, 0 - 5000 micro R/hr.
