Abstract

LR 115 Katıhal nükleer iz kazıma
dedektörleri çevresel radon ölçümlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılan radyasyon
dedektörleridir. Bu dedektörler ile gerçekleştirilen ölçümlerde dedektör
üzerinde birim alanda oluşan iz sayısı (iz yoğunluğu) ile optik mikroskop
kullanılarak belirlenir. Kullanılan mikroskopların lens özellikleri çalışmadan
çalışmaya değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada dedektörlerdeki iz yoğunlukları üç farklı
lens (40x, 100x ve 400x) kullanılarak hesaplanmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar
karşılaştırılmıştır. Yapılan hesaplamalar sonucunda objektif lens büyüklüğü
arttıkça iz yoğunluklarının da arttığını tespit edilmiştir.

Keywords
