Beta Counting System with acessories essentially is an integration of RC605A, Lead Castel, Stand for G.M. Detector, End Window G.M. Detector, Beta Scintillation Probe and other optional accessories as indicated at the end of the data sheet.

Radiation Counting system, type RC605A manufactured by NUCLEONIX is a versatile state of art integral counting system designed around eight bit microcontroller chip for using with a variety of Alpha probes and G.M. Detectors. The system is suitable for counting Alpha and Beta samples with appropriate detector.
Radiation Counting System essentially has a processor card and other electronic circuits to generate continuously variable HV upto 1500V to be applied to Alpha Probe or G.M.Tube, amplify the detector output and convert them to digital pulses for counting and displaying the recorded counts for a preset time.
Microcontroller design facilitates programmability for background, standard and sample counting. The data can be downloaded into PC or printed directly onto a printer.
System facilitates counting of samples either on planchets or filter paper.
This system will find applications for counting of air activity, wipe, environmental, geological and other samples for both beta and alpha activity. Activity report is generated for unit volume of sample.
