Source radioactivity estimate from a radiation detector

[QUOTE="artis, post: 6555080, member: 652341"] Also could I estimate the isotope if I used a scintillation detector? I know these types of detectors can determine the incoming energy and are used to do radiation spectroscopy but can that only be done in a controlled environment where the sample is brought in and fixed at a certain know distance from the detector preferably in a closed barrel that shields the detector from outside radiation sources (background) or can it also be used "out in field" applications but then how does one know the total count rate of a point source , does one have to follow the same integration that I said above? PS. I wonder is the same integration used to get the total count rate even in a lab scintillation setting as the detector usually is of a limited size and the radiation from a sample goes out in all directions?
