Additional information

Salient Features

  • Complete spectroscopy system designed for nuclear science.
  • UCS-30 contains MCA (Multi-Channel Analyser) with an internal pre-amplifier, computer controlled amplifier, high voltage, upper and lower level discriminators, ADC, and Multichannel Scaling for half-life and decay studies
  • UCS-30 is operated using a computer (PC or Mac) via a USB connection.
  • It includes Mossbauer interface and preamplifier power output (±12 V) for connecting detectors with external preamplifiers such as proportional counters and CdZnTe probes.
  • Sodium iodide (NaI) scintillator is primarily used for detecting low levels of gamma radiation.
