Zns(ag) scintillation screen/ spinthariscope po-210
SEE ALPHA RADIATION! See Po-210 Polonium 210 radiaion with the naked eye
This 1.75" screen is mounted in a cardboard frame for hand holding. Place radiation source behind screen in a darkened room and view the scintillations from the front

ATTENTION Physics / Science Teachers and Instructors
Geiger Scope/ Scintilloscope free instructions included
PhotoMultiplier Tube Alpha scintillation detector
EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITIES OF THIS ITEM!!** There is now a worldwide shortage of Silver activated Zinc Sulfide.
Special Polycrystaline Silver Activated Zinc Sulphide viewing screen with Crysatal Clear backing, mounted on cardboard frame.
The green glow can be viewed via a magnifying eyepiece, or direct optically. Individual scintillations can be made out with 10X magnification and a good Alpha source, experiment with the distance form the source to the screen for different effects.
Add a PhotoMultiplier Tube to ceate a super sensitive Alpha scintillation detector
Same screen material as used in $1000.00 Homeland security detectors, and industrial contamination detectors-Special material on the screen radioluminesces upon being struck by the Alpha particles from a radioactive source ( Use STATICMASTER BRUSH for Alpha source)
As with all Spintahriscopes,best viewing is in a darkened room, and time must pass for the eyes to adjust to the dark.
Just like we use here at GEOelectronics. Mat Hazzard, the radioactive Pumpkin is NOT INCLUDED.
Always put the powder side towards the radioacive source. Use any strong Alpha emitter ( StaticMaster Brush is ideal, sorry lantern mantles not strong enough unless you have VERY good eyesight, or plan to use the PMT setup, then any Alpha source will be counted)
Use a 5 to 10 power loupe to observe the bright glow spot when the source is very close to the screen, or move the source back 1/4" and see the individual scintillation sparkles.
NOTE: Neither Mat Hazzard, the radioactive pumpkin nor Red the Rug (if shown) are included.
