Geiger Muller Tube
Product Code : JA-APE-7287
The Geiger Muller Tube (SKU JA-APE-7287) is a halogen-quenched metal GM tube with a thin end window, for detecting alpha, beta and gamma radiation. It is a general-purpose tube for use with the sealed radioactive sources found in school and college laboratories, and a plastic cap fits over the front for protection when the tube is not in use. This end-window Geiger Muller tube connects to a suitable counter or ratemeter for radioactivity practicals.
Specifications
The tube is a halogen-quenched metal Geiger Muller tube with a thin end window, sensitive to alpha, beta and gamma radiation, supplied with a protective plastic cap.

Applications of the Geiger Muller tube in physics labs
Connected to a counter or ratemeter, the GM tube counts ionising events, so students can measure background radiation, compare sources and study how radiation is absorbed and how count rate changes with distance.
- Measuring background count rate
- Absorption of alpha, beta and gamma radiation by paper, aluminium and lead
- Inverse-square law for gamma radiation
- Half-life measurement with a protactinium generator
- Radioactivity practicals in senior-secondary, B.Sc and M.Sc physics
