The Microspec is a powerful, portable spectroscopic survey system for the detection, identification and measurement of ionizing radiation. The system’s on-board spectroscopy with isotope ID saves time, money and labour in radiation surveys. Contaminants are quickly identified and hot spots are easily distinguished from background anomalies. Even at levels below natural background, contaminants can be identified and their contribution to dose measured immediately, without the delays and expense of lab work – a feature that’s particularly valuable in decommissioning surveys, decontamination inspections and emergency response applications.

Dose is computed directly from spectral information to give unprecedented accuracy and is displayed in a simple, easy to understand format. The response matrix and efficiency of the detector are stored in computer memory and the acquired spectrum is unfolded using this matrix to produce a pure incident spectrum. Absorbed dose and dose equivalent are then calculated from the spectrum using the ICRP dose equivalent factors. MICROSPEC-2’s unique approach easily compensates for differences in response between the detector and tissue, giving it a response that is tissue equivalent and truly independent of photon energy. The dose response of the MICROSPEC-2 system over the energy range from below 3 keV to over 3 MeV is completely flat. Accumulated dose and dose rate are displayed in real time in conventional or SI units. An accumulated dose alarm, accompanied by an on-screen warning, can be set by the user.
