Re: Tritium with Amptek Si-PIN vs NaI
The link does pretty much the same thing, a small box has the picture and it fills only half the screen. I need to do a ctrl + to zoom it up and with a lower resolution. The .PNG¡¯s that were sent

Re: Tritium with Amptek Si-PIN vs NaI
I just went to the groups.io site and looked at the photos in this email. They only look slightly reduced in resolution compared to the originals but are certainly legible. Dud, are you sure it is not

Re: Tritium with Amptek Si-PIN vs NaI
My photos are always attached at full resolution. Perhaps groups.io is reducing the resolution to save space. Is anyone else having a problem reading my scans?

Re: Tritium with Amptek Si-PIN vs NaI
Charles, Your .png screen grabs are not coming up to a full screen and the resolution makes it hard to see detail. Is there some way to fix that. We¡¯d also like to see a photo of your Si ¨CPIN

Hi Randall, I always try to identify the plots by color in the lower left corner box. The one I was referring to is the tritium in blue. Charles

Hi Charles, Nice results from you new Si-PIN Minor complaint. I think there are five separate plotted spectra on one of your images. Without a caption of some sort it is very difficult to tell what is

Re: Tritium with Amptek Si-PIN vs NaI
Charles, You missed the point, there is no doubt the SI Pin spectra are Zn characteristic x-rays based on a good calibration and are well in spec. The NaI spectra aren¡¯t even calibrated in the

Here is a series of elements that I had previously done with NaI. I added what I thought was a solid 14K gold medallion, which turned out to be gold plated copper! Charles charlesdavidyoung@...>

Of course, the best Ag Ka peak is your own Ra226 card. And it is not likely to die anytime soon.
