Two pancake Geiger tubes showing construction details

Artifact Number:

2020-028

Description

Two similarly-constructed, compact, pancake, Geiger-tubes.  The thin entrance windows (typically mica) have been damaged and then removed to show the details of the design and construction of the high-voltage electrode in the counters.  Both counters are based on a 5-cm-diameter case whose walls are 1.5 cm in height.  Both Canberra-Dover and APTEC-NRC were suppliers of radiation monitoring equipment during the 1970-1990 period.
