Abstract
THE preparation of uniform solid samples of radionuclides is of paramount importance in radio-chemical assay, using end-window Geiger-Müller counters, especially for radionuclides emitting low-energy beta-radiation. For comparative measurements (using identically mounted samples), it is essential that all the deposits should be uniform and of the same dimensions, so that the factors due to absorption and scattering in the sample are constant.
