It is important to note that most alpha and beta emitters also emit gamma rays as part of their decay process. However, their is no such thing as a “pure” gamma emitter.

The possibility of creating of a monochromatic gamma emitter of low energy quanta is analyzed. The idea is based on Daning's scheme.

This is made possible by placing the gamma emitter inside a "Microfuge" tube suspended from a LS vial cap into a scintillator fluid containing an electron density increaser. Efficiencies of 71% are obtained for 125I by this method, comparable to that obtained with Nal (TI) crystal gamma counters.

The recent detection of TeV γ-rays from the microquasar LS 5039 by HESS is one of the most exciting discoveries of observational gamma-ray astronomy in the very high energy regime.

The H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) collaboration reports the discovery of a new type of energetic gamma-ray source, probably related to supersonic winds from massive stars in a young open stellar cluster.
