Presentation transcript:

Scintillation Counter Scintillation Cocktail contains solvent and fluor (or solute) molecules. Solvent is good at capturing energy of -particle (electron), but often does not produce light. A fluor molecule enters an excited state following interaction with excited solvent. The excited fluor molecule decays to ground state by emitting light (usually in blue wavelength) Blue light is detected by photomultiplier tube (usually two PMT are used to minimize PMT errors.

-Energy and Light Intensity Stronger  emitters generate stronger pulses of light, so that 3H , 14C, and 32P can all be distinguished and counted at the same time.
