Abstract
This conduction-type counter uses a cadmium-sulfate crystal mounted in a hypodermic needle; a probe preamplifier of low noise was designed to be used with it. An analysis of the geometry of the problem has been derived to yield the counting rate in terms of the crystal size, concentration of radioactive atoms, their mean life, and the end-point energy of the beta particles.
