Yes, the Berkeley Nucleonics Model 765 pulse generator supports output voltage swings of ±5V into high-impedance loads. The Model 765 provides adjustable output amplitude with both positive and negative voltage capability, making it suitable for applications requiring bipolar pulse outputs such as ultrasonic transducer driving, piezoelectric actuator control, and differential signal testing. For higher voltage…
Yes, each output channel on the Berkeley Nucleonics Model 765 pulse generator operates fully independently, even in multiple pulse mode. In double pulse mode, for example, each channel has its own set of pulse parameters — pulse 1 and pulse 2 on channel 1 are completely independent of pulse 1 and pulse 2 on channel…
These four instrument types serve distinct purposes in electronic testing and measurement. A pulse generator creates precisely timed, short-duration electrical pulses used to trigger, stimulate, or test circuits and devices that respond to transient events — common in semiconductor testing, radar simulation, and laser triggering. A current generator (or current source) delivers a regulated, controllable…
Yes, Berkeley Nucleonics can supply LaBr3 (lanthanum bromide) scintillation detectors. However, for most applications we recommend considering CLLBC as an alternative. CLLBC offers comparable energy resolution to LaBr3, adds dual-mode gamma and neutron detection capability, and currently provides better pricing and shorter lead times. LaBr3 remains the preferred choice when the absolute best energy resolution…
Bismuth Germanate (Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂), commonly known as BGO, is a high-density inorganic scintillator valued for its exceptional gamma-ray stopping power. Key specifications include: very high density (7.13 g/cm³), providing the highest photo-fraction among common scintillators; high effective atomic number (Z=75), making it extremely efficient for gamma-ray photoelectric absorption; excellent chemical resistance and mechanical durability; non-hygroscopic, requiring…
NaI(Tl) — sodium iodide doped with thallium — is the most widely used scintillation material in nuclear spectroscopy and the industry standard for gamma-ray detection. Key specifications include: high light yield (approximately 38,000 photons/MeV), making it one of the brightest inorganic scintillators; density of 3.67 g/cm³, providing efficient stopping power for gamma rays; scintillation decay…
Scintillation detectors are used across a wide range of industries and research disciplines where radiation detection, identification, or quantitative measurement is required. Common applications include: nuclear medicine imaging and PET scanning for medical diagnostics, radiation detection and environmental monitoring at nuclear facilities, high-energy physics experiments and cosmic ray research, homeland security screening and radiological threat…
Yes, NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors can be temperature stabilized, and stabilization is important for maintaining accurate energy calibration. NaI(Tl) crystals exhibit a light output that varies with temperature — approximately -0.2% to -0.3% per degree Celsius — which means the detector’s energy calibration will drift as ambient temperature changes. Common stabilization approaches include digital gain stabilization…
CLLBC (Cs₂LiLa(Br,Cl)₆:Ce) is an advanced scintillator material with several key specifications: energy resolution as good as 4.1% FWHM at 662 keV, which is superior to the ~7% typical of NaI(Tl) detectors; dual-mode detection capability for both gamma rays and thermal neutrons in a single crystal, eliminating the need for separate detector systems; good light yield…
The PIM-MINI-20 is a specialized pulsed current monitor with limited stock availability. Berkeley Nucleonics does not maintain standard inventory of this model, so lead times and minimum order quantities vary based on production schedules. If you need a PIM-MINI-20 or an equivalent pulsed current measurement solution, contact Berkeley Nucleonics with your application requirements, quantity needed,…
