X-Ray Proportional Counters
Centronic
X-ray proportional counters provide high resolution performance at low
X-ray energies. This unique feature makes our X-ray proportional counters
ideal for X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, thin film thickness gauging
and mossbauer studies. Significant development investments are made each
year at Centronic to provide further improvements in resolution performance.
