A proportional counter is a measurement device to count Charged particle particle s of ionizing radiation and measure their energy . File Geiger.png thumb right alt Diagram of an ionization chamber connected to a voltage source and a digital current indicating instrument An ionization chamber operated below the Geiger plateau behaves as a proportional counter. A proportional counter is a type of gaseous ionization detector . Its operation is similar to that of a Geiger counter Geiger M ller counter , but uses a lower operating voltage . An inert gas is used to fill the tube, with a Geiger M ller tube Quenching and dead time quench gas added to ensure each pulse discharge terminates. A common proportional gas mixture is 90 argon, 10 methane, known as P 10. An incoming ionizing particle, if it has sufficient energy, liberates electrons from the atomic orbital s of the gas atoms see ionization potential , leaving an electron and positively charged atom, commonly known as an ion pair. As the charged particle travels through the chamber it leaves a trail of ion pairs along its trajectory. The electrons created in this process drift toward a readout electrode , known as the anode , under the influence of an applied electric field . At the same time, the positive ions drift towards the cathode , at much lower speed in practical devices, the drift times are measured in microseconds and milliseconds, respectively. A proportional counter differs from an ionization chamber in that the operating voltage is sufficiently high that the drifting electrons gain enough energy over a mean free ... on them are chosen such that in most of the volume of the counter the electric field strength ...

Image Grotesqueengraving.jpg thumb 230px Counter Mannerist Grotesque engraving on paper, about 1500&ndash 1512, Italy V&A Museum no. E.180 1885 Artist designer Nicoletto da Modena. This engraving shows a dense grotesque design. Two of the figures in the print are copied from Nero s Golden House, the wildly extravagant palace the emperor built for himself after the great fire of Rome. Nicoletto s grotesque prints were among the first to be published. The theme of the grotesque referring to designs with human and animal forms and foliage was a popular one around this period. Counter Mannerism is a general art historical term for a trend in painting , printmaking and interior decoration that originated as a sub category of Mannerism . ref John Shearman , Mannerism , Baltimore, MD Penguin, 1967, p.178 ref Contra Maniera or Counter Mannerism in English followed the general worldliness of the second generation of Mannerist painters. It is generally disquieting due to its visionary style a style that evolved in Florentine painting as a result of a revolt against the classical balance of the High Renaissance art. ref John Shearman , Andrea del Sarto , Volume 1 Oxford Clarendon Press, 1965, p. 100 ref An example of the Counter Mannerist style from the period is the Grotesque , which is deliberately anti actual, often including elaborate depictions of multiple figures bound in tendrils. The Grotesque in Italian Grottosesco became an arabesque style of all over decoration based on a linked m l e of fantastic , diminutive figures deriving from Roman mural and vault decoration which had been unearthed during the Renaissance such as at the Golden House of Nero mural decorations which themselves suggested ancient expressions of religio sexual inter penetrability.
