    Description

    Same material as used by Rutherford in the Alpha Particle scattering experiment
    Silver activated Zinc Sulphide by Bicron Crystals (St. Gobain)
    See Google Books, Popular Science June 2007 for an informative article "The First Assassination of the 21st Century" pp. 77 for details of the polonium poisoning by a Russian agent, followed by Theodore Grays article on page 86 "Atoms and Eves" featuring a picture of one of my screens glowing under Polonium 210.

    THIS IS NOT RADIOACTIVE. IT DETECTS NATURAL RADIOACTIVITY IN THE ENVIRONMENT
    SEE ALPHA RADIATION! See Po-210 Polonium 210 radiation with the naked eye
    This 1.5" screen is mounted in a cardboard frame for hand holding. Place radiation source behind screen in a darkened room and view the scintillations (flashes of light) from the front
    NOTE: We now can make custom size sheets to fit your application, up to 8 X 10 inches. Made onto a crystal clear substrate with excellent optical and physical properties. Use to make new instruments, line Lucas Cells or repair Alpha Scintillators. Can be cut to shape with scissors. Reasonable prices. Call for quote and a custom eBay ad offering directly to you.
    ATTENTION Physics / Science Teachers and Instructors
    PHYSICS DEMONSTRATION,
    Used to make:
    Spinthariscope
    Geiger Scope/ Scintilloscope free instructions included
    PhotoMultiplier Tube Alpha scintillation detector
    Lucas Cell ( larger custom sizes placed on eBay at your request)
    EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITIES OF THIS ITEM!!**  There is now a worldwide shortage of Silver activated Zinc Sulfide.
    Special Polycrystaline Silver Activated Zinc Sulphide viewing screen with Crystal Clear backing, mounted on cardboard frame.
    The green glow can be viewed via a magnifying eyepiece, or direct optically. Individual scintillations can be made out with 10X magnification and a good Alpha source, experiment with the distance form the source to the screen for different effects.
    Add a PhotoMultiplier Tube to create a super sensitive Alpha scintillation detector
    Same screen material as used in 00.00 Homeland security detectors, and industrial contamination detectors-Special material on the screen radioluminesces upon being struck by the Alpha particles from a radioactive source
    As with all Spintahriscopes,best viewing is in a darkened room, and time must pass for the eyes to adjust to the dark.
    Just like we use here at GEOelectronics. Mat Hazzard, the radioactive Pumpkin is NOT INCLUDED.
