General Description
The GammaRAE II R is a gamma radiation detector and full-range dosimeter in a single instrument. Designed specifically to meet the needs of first responders, it has rapid response of detection and the accurate dose measurement of a dosimeter.
Technical Description
The GammaRAE II R uses a sensitive CsI scintillator for excellent search capability and fast response. It also has an energy-compensated PIN diode sensor for high dose rate range and accurate dosimeter capability.
