Alpha, Beta, and Gamma detection

Exosens provides advanced radiation detection solutions with Geiger-Muller tubes and ionization chambers, offering reliable detection of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Exosens’s Geiger-Muller tubes are engineered to detect various forms of radiation, including x-rays, across a broad energy spectrum ranging from tens of keV to tens of MeV. These halogen-quenched devices feature metal walls optimized for gamma detection and thin mica windows, designed to effectively detect alpha and beta particles. With dose rate capabilities reaching up to 10⁴ mGy/h, Exosens's Geiger-Muller tubes are built to perform in demanding environments. Additionally, Exosens offers customized variants tailored to specific customer requirements, integrating bespoke modifications and specialized testing to ensure optimal performance in unique applications.

Our ionization chambers provide superior long-term stability and durability, making them essential for environmental and area monitoring applications. Designed for precise dose rate measurement, these chambers are ideal for safety-critical environments that require accurate radiation assessment over extended periods. Some models incorporate re-entrant tubes, enabling the insertion of small radioactive sources, while others feature a central hole for passing sources through the chamber, facilitating isotope monitoring and dose calibration. These versatile designs ensure that Exosens’s ionization chambers meet the rigorous demands of radiation monitoring in nuclear facilities, research institutions, and safety-sensitive industries.
