Mini Beta Shield Tall, Stainless Steel.

The free standing Mini Beta Shield is made of 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick stainless steel and specifically designed to protect personnel when handling beta-emitting isotopes.  The shield easily fits on a bench top or cart.  The shield is ideal for protection against ¹²⁵Iodine and ¹⁰³Palladium.  An 8 mm thick x 10" (25.4 cm) square lead glass viewing area.  The bottom of the shield has a 3/4" (2 cm) lip to contain any dropped seeds.

The optional arm rest is made of clear acrylic and has rubber pads to cushion the arms.  The arm rest is 29" wide and 3.5" deep (73.7 x 9 cm).  The optional arm rest can be easily mounted to the stainless steel shield with two bolts into pre-drilled holes.  The arm rest can be mounted in two different positions to the front of the shield, with arm rest forwards or backwards.
