MF2 Capsule Type
Beta Particle Standards – Type MF2
“Scatterless” configuration in which the activity is applied as a 0.12” (3 mm) spot centered between two laminated 0.9 mg/cm2 aluminized Mylar foils. The source is supplied in a removable aluminum holder.
In the holder the source has an overall diameter of 1” (25.4 mm) and a thickness of 0.125” (3.18 mm). Out of the holder the source is 0.937” (23.8 mm) in diameter with a thickness of approximately 0.030” (0.76 mm).
This configuration is most useful for the precise determination of G.M. and proportional counter efficiencies, and as an educational tool for the verification of the inverse square law, as well as demonstrating back-scatter phenomena.
