A2 Capsule Type
Alpha Particle Standards—Type A-2
The type A-2 source is permanently fixed in an aluminum holder 0.5” diameter x 0.250” high (12.7 mm x 6.35 mm).
The active diameter is 0.197” (5.0 mm).
All alpha standards are offered as spectral grade sources up to the activity and active diameters listed unless otherwise noted. All electroplated alpha standards are manufactured to a tolerance of +/-30% of the nominal activity.
