  1. counter tube

    A counter tube is a type of device used to detect and measure the intensity of ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. It consists of a sealed, gas-filled tube with electrodes and a high voltage applied across it. When a radiation particle passes through the gas in the tube, it ionizes the gas molecules, creating a momentary current that can be counted or measured. The most common type is the Geiger-Muller tube.
