Commercial dry-cell vacuum tubes are used. It can be calibrated and will retain its calibration over considerable periods within 1 percent. Where comparative measurements are required—for example, standardizing radium preparations—it is capable of a much higher accuracy. Readings are made on a pointer-type microammeter. The stability of the circuit indicates that a more sensitive instrument could be used if more feeble currents are to be measured. A description of interchangeable ionization chambers, suitable for use with such an amplifier, is given.","PeriodicalId":56324,"journal":{"name":"Bureau of Standards Journal of Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"583"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1933-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71341243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
