A Gamma Counter is a machine to measure gamma radiation emitted by a radionuclide. Gamma rays (denoted as &gamma) are a form of Electromagnetic radiation or light emission of frequencies produced by sub-atomic particle interactions A radionuclide is an Atom with an unstable nucleus, which is a nucleus characterized by excess energy which is available to be imparted either to a newly-created Up to 300 samples are placed in sealed vials or test tubes, and move along a serpentine track on a horizontal plain. One at a time, they move down inside a shielded detector, set to measure specific energy windows characteristic of the particular isotope. Depending on the half life and concentration of the sample, measurement times vary from 0. 02 minute to one minute. Gamma counters are standard tools used in the research and development of new radioactive compounds used for diagnosing and treating disease, (as in PET scanning). Positron emission tomography ( PET) is a Nuclear medicine imaging technique which produces a three-dimensional image or map of functional processes in the A representative unit is the "Gamma 8000", (produced by Beckman) which can be programmed for measuring up to ten different radionuclides.
