Sensitive Gamma Probe

The Radiological Detection System (RDS) Sensitive Gamma Probe detects photon (gamma and x-ray) radiation. Its high sensitivity makes it ideal for detecting low levels of radiation. Paired with the RDS Base Unit, the Sensitive Gamma Probe is ideal for search operations to locate gamma radiation sources. The probe measures the exposure rate over a broad range of energies.
