Model L-051 TG-51 Linac Filter
The primary purpose of the AAPM TG-51 dosimetry protocol is to provide a uniform methodology for a clinical reference dosimetry measurement. Both the photon and electron beams from accelerators need to be within the recommended nominal energies (Beam Quality). The methodology includes the application of a 1 mm thick lead foil that is placed just below the accelerator head to reduce the electron contamination, and therefore, help to specify the beam quality. The lead foil is typically attached to the accelerator head or to the blocking tray using surgical tape, wires, or whatever material is available.
The Ludlum Model L-051 TG-51 Linac Filter has been designed to simplify the task of making the prescribed Beam Quality Measurements, by providing a true 1 mm thick lead foil (± 0.2 mm) that has been specially bonded to a 30.5 x 30.5 cm (12 x 12 in.) polycarbonate (Lexan®) plate. The plate has an opening cut into the center, exposing a 10 x 10 cm (3.9 x 3.9 in.) area of the bonded 11 x 11 cm (4.3 x 4.3 in.) lead foil. This plate can be customized by the user to fit the tracks of most blocking trays. The polycarbonate material is easily cut with a standard utility knife or shears. The combination lead foil and polycarbonate plate helps to maintain the integrity of the lead foil and also makes it easier to handle and store the filter.

Headphone Jack
This modification for survey meters adds a headphone jack to the instrument body so headphones can be used to monitor click-per-event audio and audio alarms. Headphones are helpful when the instrument is being used in areas with high ambient noise levels or in areas where the audio would be distracting to others, such as in a medical or office environment.
Shoulder Strap
This 1.8 m (6 ft) adjustable shoulder strap is a great way to keep your hands free while operating survey meters. The nylon strap with a wide rubber comfort pad can also be helpful for conveying some of the heavier instrument/detector combinations in the field.
