The Bruker SVGps Radiation Survey Meter is a high precision, handheld system that uses a combination of Geiger-Mueller counting tubes and semiconductor detectors. The system includes a lightweight external probe that detects alpha-, beta-, gamma- and x-ray radiation simultaneously. 
 
For users who need an extended range for beta-/gamma measurements, a dedicated probe is available as an option, which extends the upper detection limit by a factor of five. Neutron radiation is detectable with an optional probe. When either probe is connected, the SVGps recognises that particular probe and sets the measurement Parameters according 
 
Key Applications 
Key applications include direct use by the military, by civil defence and by first responders to assist in locating threats from ionising radiation. SVGps also has numerous civil applications in nuclear waste storage sites, nuclear power plants and radioanalytical facilities.
