RADEX ONE Compact Personal Dosimeter, High Accuracy Geiger Counter, Radiation Detector

DescriptionRADEX ONE compact, personal Radiation Detector for everyday life. Radiation dosimeter is designed to measure ambient ionized radiation, as well as radioactivity of materials and products, and the accumulated radiation dose received. Exceptionally calibrated, scientifically-tuned engineering equipment for common use. The newest model from the RADEX brand – since 1992Beta, Gamma and X-ray detection – the dangerous ones. Alpha radiation particles can’t penetrate a sheet of paper or a layer of skin. Beta and Gamma (X-Ray) radiation goes though much tougher materials. RADEX ONE is specifically calibrated to detect and alert about dangerous radiation. Uses low-voltage SBM-20-1 Geiger-Muller tube (the sensor) for detection. Calibrated with Cesium-137 isotope in our lab.Ambient Radiation dose and Accumulative dose One of the great features of this handy device is the Accumulative Dose mode, that shows how much radiation was detected over time, and not just immediate results. Accumulative dosage is important and a rare feature for radiation detectors: most show immediate radiation levels only, and not prolonged exposure.See what you have been missing. Radioactive materials are used in many consumer products. The most common of these is some smoke detectors which use radioactive Americium-241 to detect smoke particles in the air. Other sources: natural granite, tobacco smoke, medical procedures such as Thyroid Radiation Treatment and contaminated produce. Normal levels (sea level) are 0.10 – 0.30 uSv/h
