The identiFINDER instrument series is a series of hand-held, digital gamma spectrometers. Every identiFINDER is able to rapidly detect, quickly locate, accurately measure and precisely identify gamma emitting radionuclides. The ability to detect X-ray sources as well as the presence of neutrons in the radiation field via an optional neutron detector enhances the identiFINDERs capability.

The standard identiFINDER includes a 1.4” (35 mm) diameter x 2” (51 mm) long NaI (Tl) detector plus a GM tube, for high gamma dose rate measurements. With the exception of the identiFINDER®-X, every unit is supplied with a carrying holster plus a wrist strap, serial cable, battery pack for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, charging unit, download and analysis software and a carrying case with shoulder strap.

7Individual identiFINDER models are available with different types and sizes of detectors and with special software. An optional, sealed 3He neutron detector with internal and external neutron moderator can be added for neutron detection.

Variations in normal operating conditions can affect the performance of radio-isotope identification devices (RIID) with scintillation detectors such as NaI(Tl) or LaBr3. Dramatic temperature variations can affect the scintillation detector and cause instabilities and non-linearities in the electronics. Dramatic count rate changes will also impact peak positions in a spectrum. The identiFINDER series has been developed to correct for all of these circumstances using a power-up, automatic calibration verification and continuous peak stabilization.
