Radioactivity ADVANCED STUDENT EXPERIMENTS KIT 

The Radioactivity Advanced Student Experiments Kit contains the apparatus needed to carry out a range of experiments for students on radioactivity. Detailed instructions are included on CD-ROM. The apparatus is stored in a strong plastic tray and are held in place by foam inserts. 

Reduced Desk Space

This radiation kit has been designed to take up as little desk space as possible, which makes it ideal for use on desks with reduced space while still making the experiments clear and easy to perform.

A Range Of Radioactivity Experiments

The full list of experiments possible with this kit is:

• Determining background radiation
• Determining pulse rates for various radioactive preparations
• Statistical distribution of counter pulses
• Determination of equivalent dose for various radioactive preparations
• Penetrative capacity and range of radiation
• Deflection of alpha and beta radiation by a magnetic field *
• Absorption of alpha rays *
• Absorption of beta rays *
• Absorption of gamma rays*
• Inverse square law

Experiments marked with * require the Radiation Cartridge ²²⁶RA 4 kBq.

Please note: for all these experiments, the GAMMASCOUT Geiger Counter is also required.
