Professional Geiger Counter

The best Geiger Counter available anywhere... Period.

Easy to operate, rugged for rough outdoor use, and high precision.
 This unit is used by virtually every research, nuclear & government facility in the USA,.. not to mention hospitals, homeland security departments, etc.
These Geiger Counters & Probes are Brand New, factory fresh, and fully warranted for a period of 1 year.
Each unit is individually tested and supplied with a certificate of calibration.
Modern IC technology and state-of-the-art design make this a fantastically accurate and reliable unit. Can be used with either the standard Beta-Gamma probe, or the highly sensitive Alpha-Beta-Gamma probe. Probes are interchangeable with no adjustment necessary.
Perfect for just about any low to moderate radiological use, the Professional Geiger Counter is used by Scientists, Prospectors, Border Patrols, Hobbyists, Rock Collectors Engineers and Technicians all over the world.

Beta-Gamma probe: $270.00


'Hot Dog' Beta-Gamma probe

Alpha-Beta-Gamma Probe
(Pancake probe)

High sensitivity probe for detecting Alpha, Beta & Gamma radiation. Ideal for frisking/screening, detecting food & soil contamination & laboratory use.

'Pancake' Beta-Gamma probe

Scintillator Probes

Extremely high sensitivity, Scintillator-type probes.
These probes contain a Thallium doped Sodium Iodide NaI(Tl) crystal and an optical detection (photomultiplier) tube. When Gamma radiation strikes the crystal, it produces microscopic flashes of light that are picked up & amplified by the photomultiplier tube sealed inside. This signal is in turn sent to the Geiger Counter the probe is plugged into. Scintillator probes can detect radiation from great distances and are even usable in aircraft for ground radiation survey. Basically the larger the crystal is, the more sensitive the probe is. As a comparison, we tested a standard 'Hot Dog' probe on a small pile of Uranium ore tailings near an abandon mine. The Hot Dog probe detected the radioactive tailings pile about 6 feet away. Using our smallest Scintillator probe ( 1" x 1" NaI(Tl) crystal ),
we detected the same tailings pile 150 feet away.

Scintillator probes are available with a 1" x 1" crystal,
2" x 2" crystal, or a 3" x 3" crystal.

Use for:  Long range/high sensitivity radiation detection.
Detector Type:  magnetically shielded photomultiplier & thallium doped sodium iodide crystal.
Operating Voltage:  Typically 500 - 1200 volts
