SCOPE OF APPLICATION
vehicle, cargo and people inspection at customs control;
territories and objects inspection by environmental control services;
suspects inspection by law-enforcement officials etc.
The detector can be used when inspecting territories, premises, mobile objects and cargo during customs and border control, in expert-criminology laboratories of different departments, analytical laboratories of industrial enterprises and scientific-research organizations.
The detector is serviced by one person and designed for work both in field environment
(directly at the place of control) and under conditions of stationary and mobile specialised laboratories.
