Re: Am-241 Calibration UPDATE.

Fine on the lighting setup. Lots of new lighting tech out there now. I have a dual fiberoptic illuminator for the microscope- need to press that into service for camera pictures too. The President mentioned he was going to reinstate tungsten bulb making in US- good for him. This test was proof of concept, one more step in designing a cleaner exciter. The paper is only on the exciter, blocking alpha particles will reduce the surface count by around 10%. This will all factor out as we flesh out this idea. Eventually we'll get access to the rather new X-Ray lensing tech, called multi-capillary lens, which can transport the rays from a distance and focus them into a tiny spot, Right now they are unobtanium.

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. On Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 10:47 AM <GEOelectronics@...> wrote:
