Simply put, the Geiger-Müller (GM) detector or tube is the "business end" of a Geiger counter. It's the tube that the ionizing radiation "goes into" where it interacts with the gas inside to allow detection of the "count" or "pulse" of ionizing radiation.

Instrument for detecting radioactivity?
A device generically called a Radiac, however there are dozens of different kinds of Radiacs which operate by different principles and measure different things. Some are:geiger-mueller counterrate meterionization chamber meterscintillation counterelectrometer dosimeterionization chamber dosimeterphotographic film dosimeter
What is a radioactive device that causes a speaker to click when a charged particle passes through it?
This device is called a Geiger Counter, or sometimes a Geiger-Muller counter, which measures alpha particle concentration. It was developed by Hans Geiger and Walther Muller in the early 1900's.
Who invented the the device for counting radiation?
Johannes ( Hans ) Willhelm Geiger and Walther Muller
How is background radiation detected?
with one of several types of radiac: Geiger Counter, Scintillation Counter, Ionization Chamber, Electroscope, etc.
What are some medical uses of radiation?
to detect radiation, a device such as Geiger- Muller tube is used
Is there anything more reliable than a geiger counter?
There are good alpha and beta scintillation counters but the geiger counter is usually preferred and is highly reliable. It serves as a portable general purpose alpha, beta, and gamma detector.
What is the difference between Geiger Muller counter and scintillation?
A Geiger-Muller (GM) detector works on the principle that the ionizing radiation interacts with a charged gas, knocks off an electron, and that electron cascades into more electrons, inducing a pulse in the positively charged anode, which is then detected and counted by the electronics. A scintillation detector work on the priciple that ionizing radiation interacts with some kind of scintillating material, such as Thallium Doped Sodium Iodide, producing a light pulse (gamma burst) that is detected by a photomultiplier tube, and then detected and counted by the electronics. In both cases, you can operate in cascade mode, where you simply count every event, or you can operate in linear mode, where you also measure the energy of the events, quantifying the effective dose, or building a spectral representation of the radiation field.
