A beta scintillation probe designed to be an equivalent to the NE BP4.
This probe uses a ∅ 2" x 0.06" (∅ 57 x 1.5 mm) scintillator, with an active area of 3 in2 (19.6 cm2), and provides comparable sensitivity for beta radiation to anthracene.
A choice of 0.1", 0.2" and 0.4" (3 mm, 6 mm and 9 mm) grill spacing is available.
