A solid state telescope and a Geiger counter flown in three salvos in the energy budget campaign E4 payload are described. The telescope resolves electron energies in the 38 to 800 keV range, and distinguishes electrons from protons. A totally deployed front detector is penetrated by incident electrons with energies 185 keV, and protons with energies 4 MeV. A partially deployed rear detector resolves electron energies up to 800 keV and measures the integral flux of electrons with higher energies. The counter has a low energy cut off of 40 keV, determined by the 50% transmission point of the detector window. The geometric factors are 0.14 sq cm sr for the telescope, 0.0324 sq cm sr for the counter. One test was succesful, but the others failed due to delays in turning on the high voltage supply.
