Re: Mirion PDS 100G, Spectrometric Personal Radiation Detector

Thank you Tom,

The GS-USB-PRO paired with one of your Scionix Holland Gamma Scintillation Detector NaI(Tl) would perfectly match my budget. I'll get in touch with you once I've made my mind.

The PDS 100G looks like a really nice device with a wide range of functions and I'm very tempted to get one. However the spectrometer that I'm looking for needs to be sensitiv...
