A Geiger counter, also known as the Geiger-Muller tube, is an inexpensive and useful instrument used to quickly detect and measure radiation. There are two types of radiation, non-ionizing and ...

The project is concerned on building a detector for ionizing radiation known as Geiger counter with the interfacing on a microcontroller that is capable of connecting to a PC through a USB. There are ...

The clicking of a Geiger counter is well enough known as a signifier of radioactive materials, due to it providing the ...

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 ...

On the outside, a Geiger counter seems like a complicated thing. And you might think a device that detects a dangerous, mostly invisible threat like radiation should be complicated. But they’re ...

Implementing standard UART communication required use of Silego’s GreenPAK analog and digital blocks, with the end result being a Geiger counter that offers real-time radiation measurement. The Geiger ...

It’s not hard to detect nuclear radiation. A Geiger Muller counter will usually do the trick. These consist of a small chamber filled with gas. When a particle with high enough energy enters the ...
