Mirion/CANBERRA’s SAGe Well Detector has many novel features that sets it apart from similar detectors.

The SAGe Well Detector combines excellent energy resolution at low and high energies with maximum efficiency for small samples. Like Traditional Well Detectors, the SAGe Well is fabricated with a blind hole, leaving at least 20 mm of active detector thickness at the bottom of the well. The counting geometry therefore approaches 4π.

The low detector capacitance associated with the small anode technology gives the SAGe Well superior low and medium-energy resolution performance compared to Traditional Well or Coaxial Detectors, as well as excellent resolution for higher energy gamma rays.
