THIS SALE IS NOT QUITE AS IT SEEMS... There is only 1 item for sale here; the BICRON PGM energy-compensated GM probe, intended for use with any adjustible voltage counter capable of sustaining the load at 900 volts. If you buy this auction, you will receive that PGM probe. This is a personalized auction, how I roll for my VIP's, yo. Paint is worn, of course. Pancake is new, and was finally tested. It's perfect. Wanna know why the price is so high? No, that would spoil a mystery. And this is a cool mystery, not one of those "my newest international customer is trying to defraud me AGAIN" kind if mysteries. Energy compensation manifests in this case as a thin film over the thin mica strip. It lets all alpha and beta pass, and kind of equalizes the gamma so your readings aren't quite as messed up as they should be. It is a good probe and the compensation curve is surprisingly accurate between 60-1200keV. Pancake tubes and ALL thin window alpha and beta detector probes will implode with a pop that will bring those two classic words to your mouth, whatever they may be. A gentle breath to blow off a particle stuck on the grill? Yeah. Air duster? Ok, but at low pressure. Q tips? HA! This is such an esoteric subject that I can't even think of an appropriate insult. Anyway, if you have more questions about this one, please let me know. If you don't break the tube, this will last a lifetime. It is worth the extra money only if the extra money really is extra money, because I don't get these second hand and they cost $475 Make that $400. In this case, if you want this probe, you can get it here for 400. I would recommend waiting, sometimes you will see the, for right over a hundred. MAKE SURE the seller arrests the imploding probe problem during shipping though. Since 400 is a bit much, I'm going straight to the $150 thing which has been tested. It's one of a kind, I don't have any idea who made it, bit it's awesome for the purpose: giving anybody with a Geiger counter the ability to detect alpha radiation and lower energy beta. That's actually why I thought of this probe when you mentioned what you were doing... Picture 5 and on will show you why I think this one is right for you. It's engineer-proofed. Those paint scars would have killed a lot of other probes. Also, you know what you're doing. So taking out the mesh behind the threaded connector and replacing it with a thinner or less massive mesh would be easy. This is a #1 mica window, they don't come ant thinner or more sensitive than this. The PGM is the same stuff, just a lot more of it and with the energy compensation coating. This probe is compact and all in one. When it isn't detecting beta and alpha, it's calibrated to 1,200CPM per mR per hour of Co60, meaning it's like the coolest damn thing ever! But, the window relies on it's crystal structure to stay strong, so I don't use it. I don't want it getting killed by a tree branch just from bumping in to it. You can make a cover of some sort, and it is really consistent, but I kind of picture this one retiring in a lab, getting fondled by grad students. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you. Questions are welcomed. To purchase the 150 probe, put in a best offer and write the 150 probe in the contract terms section. If you want the $475 probe, put $400 in the terms section. I don't think you'd regret it, but considering how they come around on occasion (admittedly never eeeeeeeveer brand name, but just as functional) for less than half? Well, I think we are on the same page. I'm going to pack the counter and the HP-270 probe which comes with it now and wait to hear on the others, because either requires some special packing. If the terms here are confusing, let me know and we will get it figured out. Cheers my friend!
