Function and Applications
The Geiger-Mueller Counter tube, 45 mm is a self-extinguishing halogen counting tube for the detection of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. A long plateau (approx. 425 V…650 V) with only a slight slope renders the selection of the operating point uncritical. The actual counting tube, which is mounted in a metal cylinder with BNC socket, has a thinwalled metal sheath that is permeable to alpha radiation.
Benefits
Highly sensitive counting tube
Useful to investigate weakly radioactive sources
Even natural radioactive sources can be investigated
Equipment and Technical Data
