\u00a0NaI Scintillation Detector in Cradle, Front View<\/strong>\"NaI
\nFragile, handle with care!<\/span> Point this end at a radioactive source<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NaI Scintillation Detector in Cradle, Back View<\/strong>\"NaI
\nNote that the various electrical connections are labeled.<\/p>\n

Spectech UCS-30, Front View<\/strong>\"Spectech
\nThis box performs several different functions. It’s a power supply, an amplifier, and a multi-channel analyzer.<\/p>\n

Spectech UCS-30, Back View<\/strong>\"Spectech
\nNote that the various electrical connections are labeled.<\/p>\n

Co-60 in Holder<\/strong>
\n\"Co-60
\nAdjust the holder to support our radioactive source in front of the detector<\/a>.<\/p>\n

USB Cable<\/strong>
\n\"USB
\nThis cable connects the UCS-30<\/a> to a desktop computer, allowing us to control the UCS-30<\/a> and get data from its multi-channel analyzer.<\/p>\n

BNC Cable<\/strong>\"BNC
\nThe BNC cable carries the detector<\/a> output to the UCS-30<\/a> input.<\/p>\n

High Voltage Cable<\/strong>\"High
\nThis cable supplies high voltage from the UCS-30<\/a> to the high voltage input on the detector<\/a>. If unlabeled, it can be distinguished from a regular BNC cable<\/a> by the shape of the connectors.<\/p>\n

Multi-Pin Pre-Amp Cable<\/strong>\"Multi-Pin
\nThis cable provides power to the detector<\/a> pre-amp from the UCS-30<\/a>.<\/p>\n
