Advanced Radioactivity Kit

Set of apparatus for carrying out 10 basic student experiments on radioactivity. In a robust plastic box with foam inserts molded to the shapes of the items and a transparent lid. Includes a CD with instructions for the experiments. The experiments are designed to occupy as little space as possible on the supplied base plate, while remaining clear and easy to perform. To determine the count rates, it is recommended that a Geiger counter be used (not included).
