The basic Kusnetz technique employed a count rate meter to measure the alpha emission rate from the sample, and had a practical detection limit of about 0.3 WL [working levels]. The modified technique requires the use of a scaler in place of the count rate meter, and this results in a reduction of the practical detection limit to about 0.03 WL.

CONT

La technique de base de Kusnetz faisait appel à un ictomètre (détecteur de taux de comptage) afin de mesurer le taux d'émission alpha dû à l'échantillon et sa limite pratique de détection était environ 0,3 WL [unités alpha]. La technique modifiée nécessite l'utilisation d'une échelle de comptage au lieu du détecteur de taux, ce qui entraîne la réduction de la limite de détection pratique à environ 0,03 WL.
