Gamma-Scout Alert


The Gamma-Scout hand-held radiation detector or geiger counter is a general purpose survey meter for measuring and detecting ionizing radiation. It can detect alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation.
The Alert model also features an audible click in the presence of radiation. You can also set a radiation threshold to sound an alert.

Version

Alert

  • Determine the source of radiation leakages.
  • Monitor ambient radiation anomalies.
  • Monitor personal cumulative dose exposure.
  • Detect radioactive elements in metal scrap.
  • Check rocks from the earth for radioactivity.
