Detection and characterization of radioactive particles

Recent advances in instrumentation provide the capability to measure size, count rate, type of radiation, and the chemical composition of radioactive particles. We present a demonstration of these capabilities, using a laser-scanned phosphor imaging system and a charge injection device system for di...

Summary:Recent advances in instrumentation provide the capability to measure size, count rate, type of radiation, and the chemical composition of radioactive particles. We present a demonstration of these capabilities, using a laser-scanned phosphor imaging system and a charge injection device system for digital autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and conventional radionuclide spectrometry. Response characteristics of the phosphor system that support these efforts are presented.
