Features
Read full description

InterSpec assists in analyzing spectral nuclear radiation data, using a peak-based methodology. Common uses include identifying nuclides present, determining source activity, shielding amounts, source age, or other nuclear reactions present. InterSpec also provides a number of other tools useful for analyzing radiation data including spectral file format converting, dose rate calculations, interactive nuclide decay and reference information, gamma cross section calculations and references, and more. InterSpec can open data files from most common spectral radiation detectors (e.g., most NaI, HPGe, LaBr, CLYC, CsI, etc. based systems) and assist in their analysis.

About

Magna

Visualize magnetic fields in real space using your device's magnetometer and ARKit. This app overlays magnetic field data onto your camera view, ideal for STEM education and research. Explore real-world magnetic sources with color-coded visualizations.

Highlights
  • AR magnetic field visualization
  • Internal magnetometer data integration
  • 3D mapping with ARKit
  • Color-coded magnitude spheres
  • Compass direction display
  • Adjustable settings and color key
Features
Read full description

This app combines the data collected by the internal magnetometer with the three-dimensional mapping of ARKit to plot magnetic fields in real space superimposed upon the camera view. Useful for students and teachers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and academic or industrial researchers, this app helps users to visualize magnetic fields based upon real sources—not prepared computational models—without the use of external sensors. The actual total magnitude of the magnetic field at real points in space can be visualized with color-coded spheres to see changes in magnitude. A menu allows the user to learn more about the operating principles of the magnetometer, display compass directions in the field of view, and change settings to display/remove magnetic field values and modify the color key.
