Détecteurs de radioactivité. [...] Si l'on veut doser du carbone 14, l'eau est piégée sur un support tel que le silicagel. Seul le CO2 marqué parvient à une chambre de comptage proportionnel. Cette chambre est composée d'une enceinte parfaitement propre traversée en son centre par un filament de tungstène porté à une tension de 1500 volts en courant continu. Les ions libérés sous l'effet de la radioactivité sont collectés sur la paroi interne de la chambre de comptage et le signal ainsi obtenu est envoyé après intégration à un enregistreur 1, record 2, French, - chambre%20de%20comptage%20proportionnel
