Radiation Monitors

The Digital Radiation Monitor consists of a Geiger-Mueller tube and a digital rate meter mounted in a small, rugged, plastic case. The unit is battery operated and can be used with or without a computer for measurement of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. It can be used to explore radiation statistics, measure the rate of nuclear decay, and monitor radon progeny.

Use this low-cost radiation monitor for beta and gamma radiation. It consists of a Geiger-Mueller tube mounted in a small, rugged case. It can be used to measure the total number of counts per specified timing interval. Your students can investigate topics such as shielding, inverse square law, and half-life.

Interface Compatibility Notes

All radiation monitors are supported on LabQuest App version 1.1 when using LabQuest as a stand-alone interface.

All radiation monitors are supported by LabQuest App 1.1 and Logger Pro 3.6.1 (available summer 2008) and newer when using a LabQuest as a computer interface.

All radiation monitors are supported by LabPro.

Digital radiation monitor is Auto-ID, but the feature is only supported by LabQuest App 1.1 and LabQuest App 1.1 coupled with Logger Pro 3.6.1 (available summer 2008).
