Radioisotope experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. Second revised edition
It is stated that the main object of the book is to show that a large number of experiments in chemistry, physics and biology can be safely carried out with a minimal amount of equipment. No sophisticated counting equipment is required, in most cases simple geiger counters or photographic emulsions are used, but a few experiments are included for use with other forms of detectors, such as pulse electroscopes, which are often found in schools. Using naturally occurring compounds, sealed sources and some unsealed sources of low specific activity, experiments are given of typical applications in statistics, electronics, photography, health physics, botany and so on. The necessary theoretical background is presented in the introductory chapters and typical problems are given at the end of the book. The book is intended for GCE and Advanced level students. (UK)
