Many portable radiation monitors include a Geiger-Mueller tube, a simple, two-terminal, gas-filled detector that generates a pulse each time a radiation event (photon or particle) impinges on the tube ...

The Geiger-Muller (GM) tube allows a user to measure different types of radiation, including alpha, beta, x, and gamma particles. A GM tube consists of one anode and one cathode enclosed in a ...

Three parallel Geiger-Muller Tubes were used in this project in order to produce a Cosmic Ray Muon Detector that is easy to build, low cost, and contains usable output to graph, visualize, or sonify.

Over the years we’ve featured quite a few radiatioactivity detectors, which usually include a Geiger-Muller tube, or perhaps a large-area photodiode. But in the event of radiation exposure from a ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

Which Geiger counter is best? If you want to monitor radiation levels from a specific source, you need a reliable Geiger counter. This tool can warn you when there is radiation, as well as measure it ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This “Zahlrohr” is a very early ...

TOKYO — In the Akihabara electronics district, a Geiger counter sold under the Shanghai Ergonomics Detecting Instrument Co.’s DP802i brand name costs $800. For that price, twice the cost in China, it ...
