Product catalog summary
Overview
The SBM-2D Soft Beta Dual Detector Probe is designed for detecting beta contamination on surfaces and clothing. It features dual Geiger Mueller detectors with a thin mica window and a 44 mm diameter, providing a total active area of 2 x 15 cm2. The probe is compatible with various devices including MIP 21A, CAB, MIP 10A, ECM 21, and the new MIP 10 Digital.
