Geiger counter: Measure radioactivity in everyday life
Food, smartphones, stones and more: radioactive radiation surrounds our world. With this Geiger counter, you can track down nature and easily detect traces of radioactive radiation.
The advantages at a glance:
- Handy Geiger counter to take with you for any purpose
- Multifunctional: Supports the measurement of radioactive radiation (alpha, beta and gamma radiation), electromagnetic fields, humidity and temperature
- Better logging and tracking: export your measurements to your computer via USB and collect the data per day in a separate folder
- Easy to read: large, colour display with backlighting
- Greater safety and convenience: individually adjustable threshold alarm
- Automatic switch-off with timer
Counting tube for traces of radioactive radiation
Radioactivity is not always harmful, but occurs in small amounts in many objects and in our natural environment. With this Geiger counter, you can easily detect this radiation. Hold the device to an object of your choice and you will immediately receive a measurement result. Or measure the ambient radioactivity.
Easily determine radiation exposure
A person may only be exposed to a certain amount of radioactive radiation per year. The Geiger counter therefore measures in microsieverts (in the millionth of a sievert range) per hour (µSv/h). This value indicates the radiation exposure to the human body that can be detected in the air, in food and also from artificial sources. Find out now which objects contain radioactive radiation.
- Measure different indoor areas
- Outdoor areas
- Food that you do not trust
What items can you measure?
We have collected ideas on where you can measure radioactivity. The Geiger counter is not only an everyday device, but also a small experimental laboratory that makes science tangible and easier to understand.
- Potassium carbonate can be bought in many supermarkets around Christmas time for baking. Chemical name: potassium carbonate. Potassium consists of 0.012% of the radioactive isotope K-40. In total, potassium is responsible for 10% of the natural radiation dose in Germany.
- Take a Geiger counter with you in your hand luggage when travelling by plane. The high-altitude radiation from space should also be measurable.
Individually adjustable alarm
Decide for yourself when a measurement alarm should be triggered.
The 7-day measurement method
Find out whether the radiation changes over the course of a whole week. With the 7-day long-term measurement of your Geiger counter, you can do this at the touch of a button, because your data is stored directly in the instrument for this period. You can transfer the data to your PC at any time or afterwards from the internal memory card.
Practical stand
Set up the Geiger counter with a fold-out stand and easily set up your personal test station on a table. Now you are better able to test and see the display clearly and sharply.
Easy charging
A built-in rechargeable battery makes operation easy. Simply charge your Geiger counter via the included 5V USB cable on your PC.
