Abstract
A method for scintillation counting and a scintillation counter exploiting a coincidence technique, in which the coincidence resolving time is flexible and can be automatically adjusted to fit the scintillation characteristics of each sample separately. This is accomplished by measuring during a short initial period the pulse length of the scintillation pulses, and adjusting the coincidence resolving time of the coincidence analyzer before the actual counting of the sample.
