geiger counter 101 (from YouTube)
has to have a Geiger–Müller tube
all geiger counters can see gamma rays, x rays…
shielding on the tube determinees type of radiation
alpha radiation detection is by tbes that have a window detector, metallic grill, behind the grill is a thin sheet of mica that detects alpha, if it has a window it detects alpha
a lot of natural occurring radiation produces alpha, if you are doing contamination monitoring detecting alpha is useful
everything that produces alpha will produce gammas as well, not as much
