Model PNS-2 Para Nuclear Spectrometer

Para Nuclear Spectrometer Model PNS-2 is a Si-lab micro-controller based, stand alone, Mains operated instrument for NaI(Tl) detector based Gamma Ray Spectroscopy.
PNS-2, along with NaI(Tl) detector of customer’s choice & Model NETS-0, PMT base preamplifier form a complete spectrometry system. This system is suitable for experiments related to absorption studies, half life measurements. This set up is very useful for gross Gamma counting of environmental samples, with appropriate detector.
PNS-2 contains Spectroscopy Amplifier, SCA, HV supply for detector, power supply for preamplifier and micro based scalar / timer. PNS-2, in its standard configuration, is suppliedas preset timer.
PNS-2 can store 1000 readings in a non-volatile memory for data logging. These readings can be downloaded to PC via USB interface and printed if required. These readings can also be read on LCD display after the counting experiment.

Description

PNS-2 is ideally suited for Nuclear Counting Experiments carried out in University and colleges. It is also useful for radiation counting for health physics applications in radioisotope laboratories, nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants, environmental survey labs, etc.
NaI(Tl) Detector, PMT based Preamplifier, Lead shield around the NaI(Tl) Detector are supplied as an optional accessories for PNS-2. Depending on the application detector size and suitable shielding requirements can be configured.
