LEAD CASTLES FOR SCINTILLATION DETECTOR - LS 249, LS250, LS251.

This consists of 40mm thick lead shielding cylindrical rings assembled according to the detector. There is a provision in the bottom
ring through which system connections are given to the detector, which is placed inside the lead shield.

For 1”X1” detector (9 lead assembling parts) For 2”X2 detector (10 lead assembly parts) For 3”X3” detector(11 lead assembly parts)

LS 249 LS250 LS251

The top ring has a holding knob through which sample can be loaded on to the scintillation detector, and this closes the lead castle
from top side.
