tube or envelope to give the same efiect. Preferably the tin chloride is dissolved in alcohol or an alcohol-water solution and sprayed into the vitreous counter chamber or envelope which is maintained at a temperature of about 400 C. to 700 C. and preferably at least500 C. The concentration of tin chloride in the alcohol may vary widely, the smaller the concentration of. the chloride, the more the amount of solution which is required. A preferred spraying solution consists of fifty parts by Weight of tin chloride dissolved I in forty-five partsby weight of ethyl alcohol. The exact nature or character of the conductive film produced on the heated glass, vitreous or ceramic wall by the tin chloride or other I I metal halides is not known. Analysis has shown that the film has no halide content. The tin or other metal, which is known to be present, is in combined form, perhaps as a tin. or. metal oxide, or even conceivably in combination with the constituents of the vitreous surface. The
absence of the usual gray cast of elemental metal militates against the presence of tin orother metal in this state on the envelope wall.-
Attention is invited to the drawing f'or typi cal examples of the use of the present cathode v film in counter devices. In Fig. 1 is shown a radioxide film of this invention to conduct oft electric charges which collect on the mica surface during operation of the device and may produce faulty operation or false impulse signals.
Another modification of the tube is shown in Fig. 2. This tube has no mica window, the radiation 'to be measured passing directly through the relatively thin side walls H of the tube which are coated on their inner surface with a 1 conductive surface film 12 :as described herein.
I ,Wire anode i3 is mounted longitudinally in the i tube and passes out of the tube through a gastight seal. The usual glass bead I4 is fused to the-inner tip of anode 13. Electrical contact is made with the cathode coating [2 in any con- 'venient-mannen For example, a split ring or ation'or ionization measuring device, or-counter of the Geiger-Muller type. The tube orenvelopel of the counter is fabricated of non-conduct-, ing vitreous material such as glass or a ceramic material. ,-The cylindricaltube is flared outwardly at-one end as at 2 to receive thin ;mica sheet or window 3. which is-sealed gas-tight to tube 1 by means of a low melting point glass 4,1;
Generally the mica window variesin weight from about one to five milligrams per square centi'-' meter, the lower weight or thinner material ad-. mitting softer radiation.v The end ofthe tube opposite the mica window 3 is also sealed gaselectrons to be swept to the'po'siti've electrode.
tight. Mounted within the tube along the. ma
jor orlongitudinal axis thereof is an elongated tubewall as shown and thus is made-externally wire anode 5 of chromium-iron alloy, tungsten or other suitable metal which passes through the a accessible. The diameter ofthis wire may vary,
usually being about five to fifty mils. A" glass bead -6 is normally fused to theinner endeof panod-e 5 to prevent leakage of the discharge from V the sharp point which in turn would prevent the wire'from attaining al-ongits entire length a proper voltage gradient. 'An electrically conductive-coating 1, produced byftreatment-with' tin chloride as described 'above,- covers'" the -inner surfaceof tube orenvelope l' as shown serveshas the cathode. j Making electric contact With'ftheicathode"coating "l is a split ring or band a of metal such' as stainless steel which fits tightly within the "periphery of coating I.-
