Which tool is used to determine the amount of radioactive DNA in a solution?
Geiger Counter
What are the applications of Geiger Muller scintillation counter to cytological studies?
geiger muller scintilation counter it is application in cytological studies
How is background radiation detected?
with one of several types of radiac: Geiger Counter, Scintillation Counter, Ionization Chamber, Electroscope, etc.
Can be used to compare the amount of radioactively labeled DNA in two or more samples?
Scintillation counter
How are thermal neutrons detected?
Neutrons from fission have a natural energy of about 2 Mev. In a thermal reactor these are slowed to thermal equilibrium by a moderator, at about 0.025 ev. At these lower energies (= slower speeds) we have more time to have them react with a measuring device, commonly a particle detector. Or a scintillation detector with associated light detector..
What is the main detector of scintillation counter?
radioaton
What is a radiation detector that makes the use of gas filled metal tube?
The Scintillation Counter uses a gas-filled metal tube.The Geiger Counter uses a phosphor-coated surface.

What is beta counter?
In the beta-counter or liquid scintillation counter, the sample is dissolved in an organic scintillation solution. Due to the resulting 100% counting geometry and the absence of any detector window, this means that the counter has excellent properties in detecting radionuclides of low activity emitting low energy beta-particles, such as H3 and C14. The light photons from the sample are collected by two photomultipliers in coincidence. This arrangement will reduce the background due to thermal noise and only true scintillation events will be analysed and counted. The main problem in liquid scintillation counting is the varying counting efficiency due to quenching of scintillation events. This process is caused by chemical contamination of the sample and/or a coloured sample. This means that the counting efficiency has to be determined for every sample. Therefore a quality control of the instrument must include a control of the correction methods. Otherwise the QC methods will be the same as for any scintillation counter. The sources needed for QC of a liquid scintillation counter include calibrated sources of H3 and C14 with different counting efficiencies as well as a background sample.
Is there anything more reliable than a geiger counter?
There are good alpha and beta scintillation counters but the geiger counter is usually preferred and is highly reliable. It serves as a portable general purpose alpha, beta, and gamma detector.
What is the main detector of a Geiger counter?
A Geiger counter usually has two detectors, especially in a two-piece bench type. The main detector is usually an ionizable gas in a metal tube.
What is the detector of nuclear radiation?
A radiac detects nuclear radiation. There are many types of radiac, some are: Geiger counter, ionization survey meter, scintillation counter, film badge dosimeter, electroscope dosimeter, electrometer, drift meter, cloud chambers, etc.
What type of radiation is best detected by a scintillation counter?
Ionizing radiation
