Ortecs Interchangeable Detector Module (IDM) is a gamma-ray detection building block, comprising a mechanically cooled, high-purity germanium detector of standardized crystal dimensions and including all necessary electronics in a rugged package.
It is everything needed to detect gamma rays and send the data stream to a PC for analysis. IDMs can be used in a variety of systems for nuclide identification / monitoring, e.g. portal monitors. It can be swapped out quickly for service, resulting in high system availability and minimizing downtime. The IDM is light enough to be installed by one person. Designed for OEM applications, Ortec Connections-32 programmers toolkits and applications software modules are available.
