Alpha particle radioluminescence detection and imaging is an advanced optical technique that capitalises on the light emitted when alpha particles interact with air molecules. When alpha particles – ...
If you want to measure radioactivity, nothing really beats a Geiger counter: compact, rugged, and reasonably easy to use, they’re by far the most commonly used tool to detect ionizing radiation.
