Over 20 scintillation materials, a custom-engineered crystal and readout, built to your application. From high-resolution gamma spectroscopy to dual-mode neutron and gamma detection, ScintIQ pairs the right material with the right electronics, backed by 60+ years of nuclear instrumentation experience.
Choose the material that matches your radiation type, energy range, and environment. Each crystal is grown, finished, and coupled to readout as a complete ScintIQ detector. Not sure where to start? Use the material selector or click a material type below.


A ScintIQ detector is the crystal plus the readout chain. Berkeley Nucleonics supplies the photosensors, voltage dividers, multichannel analyzers, and acquisition software to turn light into a calibrated spectrum.
Compact, low-voltage silicon photomultiplier readout for rugged, magnetic-field-tolerant detectors.
