Category: General Lab Equipment IV

Geiger Muller Counter  A Geiger counter (Geiger-Muller tube) is a device used for the detection and measurement of all types of radiation: alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Basically it consists of a pair of electrodes surrounded by a gas.



SPECIFICATION

 

  • The electrodes have a high voltage across them. The gas used is usually Helium or Argon.
  • A Geiger counter, or a Geiger-Muller tube, is used for detecting and measuring alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
  • It consists of a pair of electrodes with a high voltage running between them. Radiation entering the tube ionizes the gas. Electrons and ions are attracted to the electrodes, producing an electric current.
