1-3/8" Diameter Bicron BC408 Scintillator Plastic for 1.5" PMT detectors BC-408

Description

Excellent for use with 1-1/2 inch or 1-1/4 inch Photomultiplier Tubes!
Also for use in the replacement of old 1" Sodium Iodide canned scintillators.
FULLY POLISHED AND READY TO INSTALL.
Sized at ~1-3/8" by ~1.5" length, these are precut round blocks with all sides polished of Bicron BC-408 Scintillator Plastic. This material is a Premium Plastic Scintillator Material, tested and guaranteed to work for gamma radiation detection when coupled to a PMT and built into a probe. This size is perfect for use with 1-1/2 inch PMT, or even a 1-1/4 tube. I often sell these for use as a direct replacement of damaged 1" canned sodium iodide scintillators, found in many popular scintillator detectors. Great replacement scintillator for the PRI Model 111, 111B, 111C and Model 117 117B, Detectron DS-234, Ludlum Model 19, and many others using 1 inch NaI(Tl) scintillators. These fit right on the popular RCA 6199 and other similar 1.5" PMTs often used in these older detectors. Works well with the PMTs used in many modern scintillator detectors, and makes an inexpensive replacement in 1 inch stand alone scintillator detectors like the Ludlum Model 44-2. NaI(TL) is nice while it lasts, but these scintillation detectors will last indefinitely and are much less expensive. Excellent for use in contamination survey and count rate applications, not for gamma spectroscopy.
The cutting and polishing of this plastic can be very difficult and costly without the proper know-how and equipment. Unless you’re going to build dozens of probes, buying a round precut piece from me is much cheaper (and easier) than trying cut, shape and polish it yourself.
Your BC-408 Scintillator comes complete with instructions including how to use it in building your own scintillator detector.
Dimensions:
Diameter (Face) = ~1-3/8 inch, 35 mm
Sides = ~1.5 inch, 37 mm
MAKE OFFER price is for purchase of quantities GREATER than two. When purchasing three or more crystals, offer me off the price and please wait for my acceptance. Purchase of one or two crystals is only at the stated selling price. For Quantities larger than 10, or other sizes, please send a message to seller. Thank You!
I can cut other standard round sizes and square cut material as well; polishing service is available at extra cost.

Attention school teachers and students. These are excellent for science and physics projects, experiments and term or research papers. Scintillator detectors are fun and easy to build for all age groups from high school through college and university. Great experience and fun for the electronic hobbyist as well.
I SHIP VERY FAST, USUALLY BY THE NEXT DAY (Priority Mail optional). I only ship to address on PayPal account.
This listing is for ONLY ONE round plastic scintillator, unless you actually purchase more than one :).
