Re: Am-241 Calibration UPDATE.


 

Ok, so you are blocking the alphas coming from Am241 so they can't excite the target, right?? But doesn't that also block the lower energy xrays we would like to detect coming from the target?

It is a dual gooseneck halogen source.

Yes, between lighting and a new camera I can now get decent photos of my specimens.

See pic of normal interfering 2 keV peak (black outline) vs Red Filled=Alpha Blocked.

Is that a 2 or 3 light setup?
I see 2 sidelights but can tell if there is a toplight.
