2. Survey meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_meter

   Alpha scintillation probe under calibration. The most commonly used hand-held survey meters are the scintillation counter, which is used in the measurement of alpha, beta and neutron particles; the Geiger counter, widely used for the measurement of alpha, beta and gamma levels; and the ion chamber, which is used for beta, gamma and X-ray measurements.

3. Civil defense Geiger counters - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_defense_Geiger_counters

   An example of the CD V-715 survey meter. By far the most common US civil defense meter on the market today. This is a simple ion chamber radiological survey meter, specifically designed for high-radiation fields for which Geiger counters will give incorrect readings (see above). Survey meters do not read alpha or beta radiation.

4. Geiger counter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geiger_counter

   A Geiger counter (/ ˈ ɡ aɪ ɡ ər /, GY-gər; [1] also known as a Geiger–Müller counter or G-M counter) is an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. It is widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry , radiological protection , experimental physics and the nuclear industry .
