Basic Nuclear Lab Stations, PC Computers
Designed for high school and junior college level nuclear science
instruction, this system provides a complete solution for performing
many basic nuclear demonstrations and experiments. The single convenient package includes a GM detector with multi-position sample
stand, a 6-decade scaler with preset timer, a built-in 11-piece absorber
set and a computer interface for optional connection to either the
PC or Macintosh computer. The internal thin windowed 15mm
Geiger Mueller counter allows detection of alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
Perform experiments such as:
• Range of Alpha Particles
• Absorption of Beta Particles
• Inverse Square Law
• Half-Life decay
• Detection Efficiency
• Counting Statistics
• Nuclear physics plus many additional laboratory exercises for
both introductory and intermediate instruction.

Sophisticated Features, Affordable Price

Digitally controlled variable high voltage is supplied to the GM detector allowing students to plot the Geiger Plateau for understanding the mechanism of nuclear radiation detection, a feature not usually found in an entry level instrument. Large LED indicators display the count, preset time or high voltage setting. Computer connection and data transfer is provided through a serial port to the on-board microprocessor.

Powerful Software
By connecting the Basic Nuclear Lab Station to an IBM students can run experiments from a laboratory work station and display data directly on the computer screen. The software package supplied with the system
stores each m easurement in a data file which can be saved to disk for transferring into a spreadsheet for graphing and presentation.

The software displays:
• Gross Count
• Elapsed Time
• Digital CPM
Data File contains:
• Run#
• Voltage
• Counts
If the WINDOWS operating systems is not available on the workstation, the software provides drivers for many popular dot matrix printers for printouts and screen dumps.

Valuable Components
Also included is a set of 3 radioactive sources (U41511) containing 1 each of Po-210, Sr-90 and Co-60 emitting a range of alpha, beta and gamma radiations.

This set is ideal for demonstration and introductory
nuclear labs covering basic characteristics of radiation.
