Gamma standard sources are used as working standards for verification and graduation of photon measuring equipment, for certification of measuring methods and measurement accuracy control of photon emission. In particular, the set is intended for testing and calibration of precision instruments, spectrometers and radiometers, ionization chambers and scintillation counters.
The source is produced in the form of a flat round capsule made of aluminum, 25 mm in diameter (29 mm by special order) and 3 mm thick. The source active part of less than 3 mm in diameter is embedded between two polyimide foils with total thickness of 100 ± 10 μm.
