How should I put the parts together?

There are three major ways to set up the kit as per the experiments:

1. When you are using disc sources you will need the setup as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1. The most commonly used setup

2. Figure 2 shows where to put the collimator along with sources

Figure 2. Setup if you are using a collimator

3. When you plan to use thoriated electrodes, figure 3 shows the correct setup.
