Here's an article relating to our Elektor Academy webinar 'The Making of an Improved Radiation Meter' being run live by Thijs Becker, Elektor Technical Editor, on 16th Feb 15.00GMT.
The article from the November edition of Elektor highlights: 'All that’s required to measure radiation is a simple PIN photodiode and a suitable preamplifier circuit. We present here an optimised preamplifier and a microcontroller-based counter. The microcontroller takes care of measuring time and pulse rate, displaying the result in counts per minute.'
