Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A RADIATION COUNTER FOR MEASURING THE RADIOACTIVITY OF A LIQUID OR GAS SMPLE COMPRISING A CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER HAVING GLASS END WALLS, A PLURALITY OF LIKE SOLID CYLINDRICAL SCINTILLATING FIBERS FORMED INTO A CLOSELY PACKED ARRAY ESSENTIALLY HEXAGONAL IN CROSS SECTION AND DISPOSED LONGITUDINALLY WITHIN SAID CONTAINER, THE ENDS OF SAID FIBERS BEING OPTICALLY COUPLED AND SEALED TO THE END WALLS OF SAID CONTAINER, MEANS FOR INJECTING SAID SAMPLE INTO SAID CONTAINER BETWEEN THE INTERSTICES OF SAID FIBERS ALONG THE LENGTH THEREOF, AND MEANS FOR DETECTING SCINTILLATIONS AT THE END WALLS OF SAID CONTAINER, WHICH SCINTILLATIONS ARE A MEASURE OF THE RADIOACTIVITY OF SAID SAMPLE.
