Survey Meter Gamma-Scout Hand-held Radiation Detector

The Gamma-Scout hand-held radiation detector or geiger counter is a general purpose survey meter for measuring and detecting ionizing radiation. It can detect alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation.You can use the Gamma-Scout radiation detector to :

Determine the source of radiation leakages

Monitor ambient radiation anomalies

Monitor personal cumulative dose exposure

Detect radioactive elements in metal scrap

Check rocks from the earth for radioactivity

Technical Data, Calibration

Display

Liquid-crystal display ( LCD ), 4-digit, numeric with description,quasi-analogue logarithmic bar chart

Operating mode indicators

Radiation Detector

End-window counting tube to the Geiger-Müller principle Stainless steel housing

Measuring length 38.1 mm, measuring diameter 9.1 mm
