| Geiger counter |
A device used to count high energy radiation and particles, such as radioactivity. The counter consists of a Geiger tube or ionization chamber (which converts the incoming radiation into electronic pulses) and associated circuitry which amplifies and counts the pulses.

| Geiger c. |
a radiation counter that uses a gas-filled tube to indicate the presence of ionizing particles; the type and energy of a particle cannot be determined because the degree of ionization produced is independent of them. It is highly sensitive to β particles, but relatively insensitive to γ and x-rays.
