In the medical sector, the energies used are often around 60 KeV and are clearly detectable with the counter tube open. It is more difficult to draw a conclusion if the radiation hits the device […]
Ionizing radiation is subject to major statistical variations in this area of brief measurement. Only a few pulses are measured over a period of minutes and converted into dose. You want to take a quick […]
The Gamma-Scout® is able to measure X-ray radiation as stated. When the radiation is pulsed, the average is correspondingly lower. To secure reasonably accurate results, measurement should be conducted for at least ½ hour. If […]
The Gamma-Scout® is a Geiger counter. The principle is that high-energy radiation penetrates a “counter tube” containing a gas of a specific composition held in a vacuum. The radiation “ionizes” molecules, causing a small current […]
A “Geiger counter” is named for the Geiger-Mueller tube, which is the core component of this device. This tube contains a thin metal wire through its center. The space around the wire is sealed and […]
Fundamentally, no. However, for experienced programmers, we have published here the interface data for writing your own read-out software: https://www.gamma-scout.com/en/deutsch-download/
Prior to delivery, each Gamma-Scout® undergoes a rigorous factory inspection and calibration protocol. We use a highly stable G-M tube, so it is unlikely your Gamma-Scout® will require calibration during the first 5 years of […]
