Apollo | H3D Gamma | WMD Detector Selector

General Description
Apollo is a high-efficiency radioisotope identification device (RIID) with better than 1% FWHM energy resolution and gamma-ray imaging.

Comparable resolution to HPGe, but go from storage to measurement in 90 s
Detection times equivalent to 2" NaI(Tl) [M. Streicher et al., 2014 IEEE NSS/MIC, Seattle, WA, p.1-3.]
Full imaging of each isotope's distribution over all directions
Automated isotope-specific localization; pinpoint the location of each isotope
Automated identification, and library selectable from full 3573-isotope ENDF library
IP52 ingress protection for field use
Wireless connectivity to optional base station with full oversight capability
Data playback and post-processing tool included
Works in high dose (500 mrem/hr) environments
Full warranty and updates for 2 years

Technical Description
The imaging gamma spectrometer is based on pixelated CdZnTe (CZT) detector technology. The ability to record the position and energy of the detected gamma ray allows for the simultaneous identification and location of a source.
