Advanced Radioactivity Kit

Set of apparatus for carrying out 10 basic student experiments on radioactivity. In a robust Gratnell tray with foam inserts molded to the shapes of the items and a transparent lid. Includes a CD with instructions for the experiments. The experiments are designed to occupy as little space as possible on the supplied base plate, while remaining clear and easy to perform. To determine the count rates, it is recommended that a Geiger counter be used (not included).

Base plate for use with Advanced Student Experiment Kits. Tilt-resistant stainless-steel base with five special threads for the insertion of stand rods, threads for mounting a transformer, and expansion slots for the insertion of electrical components. Has rubber feet for no-slip setup. Advanced Kit base plate is required, but not included.
