Geiger Counter

Here you can see me testing out the Geiger Counter we just got in.  It shipped with some naturally radioactive material that you can test with, namely uranium glass.  It's a little hard to see, but when a beta particle is detected, a little red LED lights up on the probe assembly.  This sensor is capable of detecting both beta and gamma radiation.
