Ergonomic Digital Meter with Pancake G-M Detector
General Purpose Alpha, Beta and Gamma Survey
The Radiation Alert® Frisker is a handheld, wand-shaped radiation detector, featuring digital display and an internal pancake Geiger-Mueller detector (Geiger Counter). This detector is ideal for general purpose survey in laboratory use, nuclear power plant frisking, emergency response, border patrol, customs inspections, airport security, and other applications. The Frisker detects alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation. Efficiencies vary, depending on energy and isotope.
