What device is used to detect nuclear radiation?

There are many different devices used to detect nuclear radiation, though the most famous is probably the Geiger counter. A Geiger counter uses a tube filled with an inert gas (e.g. helium, neon, or argon) which becomes briefly conductive when struck by beta particles or gamma rays. The tube amplifies the resulting current pulse and displays it, typically as needle movement, lamp light, or an audible click. Other instruments for detecting radiation include ionization chambers, cloud chambers, bubble chambers, photomultipliers and dosimeters.


What instrument measures radiation?

Geiger Counter, named after Hans Geiger, who developed the device in 1908. There are several others, Crystals that emit light when exposed to radiation are coupled to photoelectric tubes and the light out-put of the crystal is a measure of the radiation absorbed by the crystal. Gas filled ionization chambers which operate much like a Geiger counter are another. Thermoluminescent materials, photographic (x-ray) film, cloud chambers, and bubble chambers are a few others.
