Abstract:
1. A radiation detection apparatus comprising: a hand-held probe having a scintillation detector; a counter operably connected to said hand-held probe for counting first and second scintillation count values; a control device for outputting at least one of the scintillation count values to a utilization device; a display operably connected to said counter for displaying at least one of the scintillation count values; and a switch assembly adapted to be removably mounted to said hand-held probe and including first and second switches, said first switch in a first state remotely causing said counter to accumulate said first scintillation count value and in a second state remotely causing said counter to accumulate said second scintillation count value, said second switch in a first state remotely causing said first scintillation count value to be communicated to said utilization device and in a second state remotely causing said second scintillation count value to be communicated to said display.
