Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Quebec
Period: USED DURING 1960S- MID 1970S.
Canada: USED IN MONTREAL, PQ MEDICAL PRACTICE OF DR. ROGER GHYS DURING PERIOD 1960S-1970S.
Function: USED TO MEASURE THE INTENSITY OF RADIATIONS FROM ONLY ONE ISOTOPE IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS. IT CAN ALSO COUNT PULSES, AND SORT THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR HEIGHT, FILTERING OUT PULSES WHICH DO NOT FALL WITHIN THE SELECTED ENERGY RANGE. (REF. 2)
Technical: USUALLY USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SODIUM IODIDE CRYSTAL,PHOTOMULTIPLIER-TYPE SCINTILLATION DETECTOR FOR GAMMA RADIATION ANALYSIS. THE CHARGE PULSES FROM THE SCINTILLATION DETECTOR ARE PROPORTIONAL TO THE ENERGY LEFT IN THE CRYSTAL BY THE RADIATION PARTICLE. THE PULSE HEIGHT ANALYSER PASSES ONLY THOSE PULSES CORRESPONDING TO A CERTAIN ENERGY RANGE, ACTING AS AS ENERGY-SELECTIVE FILTER BETWEEN THE DETECTOR AND THE COUNTING INSTRUMENT. USING THE PULSE HEIGHT ANALYSER, IT IS POSSIBLE TO PLOT THE ENERGY SPECTRUM OF A SOURCE. (REF. 2)
Area Notes: Unknown
