Introduction
The NATS EDUC-1510 Radiation Counting System is built around
our own NATS Radiation Counter and provides the ultimate in nuclear lab systems for studying the characteristics of radiation. All controls and readouts are performed through the NATS EDUC-1510 software application. Externally, the only control is the on/off switch! Features of the instrument and software system include preset time acquisitions, a digital ratemeter with audible beeper and alarm, and digitally controlled
high voltage and threshold. The system includes a large volume Geiger-Mueller detector for improved efficiency, a 10-position sample stand, USB and serial interfaces to PC, software for full computer control and data transfer, five radioisotope sources, 20-piece calibrated absorber set, lab manuals on CD and cables.
