A Radhound Geiger counter measuring radiation emitted by a tree in Chernobyl. Geiger counters are widely used to detect gamma radiation and X-rays collectively known as photons, and for this the windowless tube is used. However, detection efficiency is low compared to alpha and beta particles.
A Geiger counter exploits the natural process of ionization to detect and measure radiation. The device houses a stable gas within its chamber. When exposed to radioactive particles, this gas...
Several researched choices to consider for the best radiation detector (Geiger counter) for general purpose preparedness.
A Geiger counter has two main parts—a sealed tube, or chamber, filled with gas, and an information display. Radiation enters the tube and when it collides with the gas, it pushes an electron away from the gas atom and creates an ion pair.
Handheld radiation detector for everyday use or emergency preparedness. Solid-state sensor handles 100x higher radiation levels than standard Geiger counters. Automatic correction of measured dose rate base on incoming X-ray/gamma energy for better accuracy. Scintillator design is 3x more sensitive to X-ray/gamma than typical Geiger counters.
As a personal Dosimeter, measure your exposure to X-ray machines, lab materials, and other workplace hazards. Calibrated to detect Gamma, Beta and X-ray. PERSONALIZE YOUR DATA: Set your own personalized alert thresholds, and save data in the memory.
The PRM-8000 Geiger counter allows you to scan items for nuclear radiation, detect Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and continuously monitor your environment. This radiation meter delivers laboratory grade performance in a compact unit and measures alpha, beta, gamma and x-radiation.
