DP2 Family
A well-established general purpose
dual phosphor (ZnS/ BC400) probe
which responds to alpha, medium and
high energy beta and gamma.
Compact, reasonably robust and
ergonomic, users include nuclear
sites, survey, environmental and gov-
ernment radiation laboratories, emer-
gency services and the petrochemical
industry. The DP2R/4A version has a
rugged 3 mm mesh grill for longer life
of the thin aluminized window.
This probe can be matched with
Thermo's portable survey meters,
such as the Electra/Delta series,
ASP-2, E-600, or RM-25.

These hand probes are dual phosphor
(ZnS/NE102) general purpose
survey and frisking probes
with excellent sensitivity
to alpha and beta with
minimum interference
from gamma back-
grounds. The probe design is con-
structed from lightweight aluminum
which promotes ruggedness and
ergonomic handling. This probe can
be matched with Thermo's portable
survey meters, such as the ASP-2,
E-600, RM-25 or Electra/Delta series.
