The Scintillometer Model 963 was introduced in 1955. It was a portable gamma ray detector designed to give reliable and consistent service in a variety of applications. With batteries it weighed only 7 lbs and designed with a shape to fit comfortably against the body. It will withstand rugged field use and will operate under conditions of high humidity and extreme temperatures. It may be used on the ground or in a moving vehicle or aircraft. The ranges were 300, 3000 and 30000 cps. The Model 963A had ranges of 0.025, 0.25 and 2.5 mR/h. The photomultiplier had a Mu-metal shield. The detector was 1-1/8" x 5/8" thallium activated Sodium Iodide mounted in spun aluminum holder with plastic window and sealed in silicone fluid. It used three 1.5 volt, five 22.5 volt and one 840 volt batteries. It was a high sensitivity, lightweight detector. It sold for $695. The unit is a canister style Geiger counter. It has a curved body and measures 9" long x 8.5" high x 3.5" wide.
