Designed for high school and college level nuclear science instruction, the Spectrum Techniques ST160 Nuclear Science Station 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 serial and USB computer interface for optional connection to either the PC or Macintosh computer. Basic operation of the model 160 Radiation Counter is straightforward and intuitive. The internal, thin-windowed 15mm Geiger Mueller counter allows detection of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Specify PC or Mac when ordering.
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.
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.
