    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_meter

    Hand-held ion chamber survey meter in use to detect gamma radiation. Survey meters in radiation protection are hand-held ionising radiation measurement instruments used to check such as personnel, equipment and the environment for radioactive contamination and ambient radiation. The hand-held survey meter is probably the most familiar radiation ...
