An interface for use with radioisotope disintegration counting has increased the efficiency and expanded the uses of radioisotopes in the study of dynamic phenomena. Counting periods as short as 0.1 sec can be used for several channels simultaneously providing rapid data acquisition and permitting storage on digital magnetic tape and/or real-time data analysis with a general purpose digital computer. Disintegration rates from several radioisotopes can be sampled simultaneously enabling corrections for count spill-over and background in real time. In the system described there are 6 channels (for up to 6 radioisotopes) but 12 may easily be incorporated.
与放射性同位素衰变计数配合使用的接口提高了效率,并拓展了放射性同位素在动态现象研究中的应用。短至0.1秒的计数周期可同时用于多个通道,实现快速数据采集,并允许存储在数字磁带上和/或使用通用数字计算机进行实时数据分析。可以同时对几种放射性同位素的衰变率进行采样,以便实时校正计数溢出和本底。在所描述的系统中有6个通道(最多用于6种放射性同位素),但很容易扩展到12个通道。
