Internal Pancake Geiger Mueller Detector
For Alpha, Beta, and Gamma General Purpose Survey
This hand held radiation detector features an internal two inch diameter "pancake" Geiger Mueller tube and speaker. The analog display is a dual scale in counts per minute (cpm) and mR/h. The thin window of the G-M tube is located on the bottom of the survey meter. it is recessed and protected by sturdy grill. The Instrument will detect alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The anti-saturation circuit will not fall below full scale high fields. The instrument is tested to100 R/h.
This light weight, compact survey meter is useful for surveying bench tops or frisking the body, and clothes for almost any radioactive contamination. This model is recommended for emergency response. U.S. Customs personnel find this type of survey meter useful for surveying people, vehicles, and luggage.
A beta-slide model is available. A digital version is available as well
