Abstract
A simple and inexpensive attachment to a standard probe and scaler unit is described which provides an automatic correction to the scaler reading in radioactive assays using Geiger counters. Over the usual range of operation of these counters, 0 to 16,000 impulses/min., the relative errors in the sealer reading due to paralysis of the counting system are thus reduced to 0.3%.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
