Re: [Phys-l] Geiger counter



Also on the cheap side.. and great for hobby-type projects (computer interfacing, etc...) is the RM-60 geiger counter. (we use them for high-alititude balloon experiments)

http://www.aw-el.com/index.htm

Three wire interface: 5V, Gnd, and output (pulses) of tens of usec. I think the dead time is around 90 usec.

Current price is $180 or so.

No buttons or display... it's just a box. ;-)
