I was teaching such lab classes about 10-12 years ago. The experimental platform was very similar to the one of second generation introduced above.
Aaaah memories memories ;)

wow... And i have never seen an actual one, not even experimental... only by a little theory...
It is actually pretty small (at least the one we had for the lab classes), and you do not need much to build it (although I didn't build it myself).
It was a round table with detectors that could rotate around its circumference. Sources were put in the middle of the table, hidden (at least for the students). By rotating the detectors, they were supposed to localize precisely the sources.
Nice. So many ways we can educate the students about the basic science principles...
I have experimented with something similar, DXA scanner, for personal body composition measurements. with DXA radiation is much lower and the practice is inexpensive.
Interesting! many applications using the same principal :-) saw the DXA wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-energy_X-ray_absorptiometry seems that it looks more quantifiable.
