  • Abstract
    An electrometer is described which has been commercially engineered to provide chemists, biologists, and medical technicians with a device for low-level ß counting using an ionization chamber. The operation of the instrument and typical applications are outlined. These include C-14 in gas samples, tritium in gas, and the same isotopes in liquid or solid form.
