The lexsyg TL/OSL reader can be equipped with up to 2 irradiation units. A sensor controlled mechanical shutter moved by air pressure provides repeatable, easy and safe functionality.
Beta source
radioisotope: Sr-90; activity: 1.85 GBq;
dose rate: about 0.11 Gy/s
dose rate variation over the irradiation area: ≤ (± 10 %) @ 8 mm diameter, ≤ (± 12.5 %) @ 10 m diameter
maximum energy: ca. 2.2 MeV

Beta irradiation unit
Beta source (ring)
radioisotope: Sr-90; activity: < 3 GBq;
dose rate: about 0.06 Gy/s
very homogeneous dose rate over the irradiation area: (± 2.5 %) @ 8 mm diameter; (± 3.5 %) @ 10 mm diameter
maximum energy: ca. 2.2 MeV
required for Radio Fluorescence (RF) measurements/applications
Alpha source
