Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Detectors for High-Resolution Gamma Detection
Radiation Detection Measure delivers advanced CZT detector systems, engineered for precision, reliability, and seamless B2B integration across North America
Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Detector Overview
Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors are solid-state devices renowned for their ability to deliver high-resolution gamma and X-ray spectroscopy at room temperature. Unlike traditional semiconductor detectors that require cryogenic cooling, CZT detectors operate efficiently without complex cooling systems, making them ideal for portable, field, and laboratory applications. Their direct conversion technology enables rapid, accurate detection and energy discrimination of gamma photons, supporting critical needs in nuclear security, medical imaging, industrial inspection, and scientific research.
Radiation Detection Measure supports B2B clients throughout North America with innovative CZT detector solutions. Our systems are trusted for their reliability, compact design, and superior performance. Through ongoing product development, strict quality assurance, and expert support, we help organizations achieve advanced radiation detection, compliance, and operational efficiency.
