The beta rays, far more penetrating than the alpha rays, consist Of' negatively charged bodies projected with velocities of the same order as the velocity Of light. Their velocity varies considerably, and are distinguished by the terms soft beta and hard beta. A considerable variety of screens is used, according to the nature of the radiation required.

The gamma rays are extremely penetrating, and are somewhat ana logons to the very penetrating Roentgen rays. With the screens used at the Institute none of the gamma rays are absorbed.
