Images Scientific Corporation just announced a new Geiger counter wand base provides a stable platform to hold the Geiger counter wand for experiments. The physical dimensions of the holder are 2″ wide by 12″ long. The length of the sled has markings in both metric and imperial.

The sled isotope holder provides a stable and moveable platform for radioactive isotopes 1″ diameter discs. The sled isotope holder is available in two sizes:  One that holds 1/8″ thick discs and the other to hold 1/4″ thick discs.

When used in conjunction with the Sled isotope holder a number of nuclear experiments may be performed such as the Inverse Square Law of radiation, half life, shielding effects, etc.

β-Particle Magnetic Deflection Experiment – Supplementary Pictures

Posted on January 5, 2012 by David Prutchi Posted in CDV700 Pro Geiger-Müller Counter, Chapter 3 - Atoms and Radioactvity, Ionizing Radiation Detection, β-Particle Magnetic Deflection

β-Particle Magnetic Deflection Experiment

The book’s Figure 65 shows our β-particle magnetic deflection setup.  It consists of a 90Sr disc source of beta particles, two copper washers to collimate the beam, and GM tubes placed at 0º and 90º to the β-particle beam. A sufficiently strong magnetic field (around 800 Gauss = 0.08 Tesla) provided by a permanent magnet bends the beam so much that it is easily detected at a right angle (notice the meter needles in the pictures above).
