Micro Geiger – Contatore Geiger per Smartphone Android

What can this little Geiger Counter be used for? ?

Micro Geiger can be used connected to the Android smartphone to check the presence of ionizing radiation in the environment, in the ground, imported materials, waste, scrap metal, timber, pellett, vintage objects, building materials, like granite, flooring tiles, bricks, cement, pozzolana, tuff, and much more. 

Who is recommended to purchase our Geiger Counter for Android?

It is recommended for schools to purchase for teaching purposes, to those who are interested in radioactivity in general, as well as professionals dealing with radiation protection. E’ useful for analysis and research laboratories, and to companies that import and process products from countries involved in nuclear accidents. 

Who produces it, where it is manufactured and what guarantees are offered ?

Micro Geiger is entirely designed and built in Italy by the ElettronicaNetwork company. Therefore it is sold with the legal guarantee and direct technical support offered by the national manufacturer itself. 

Micro geiger how to connect to Android smartphones ?

It works via the phone's headset socket and via our free Android APP, which includes many advanced functions to simplify and optimize radioactivity measurement. 

Our Geiger Counter can measure activity and absorbed dose ?

Micro Geiger can show you real-time count value per minute (CPM) of the radioactive particles detected. Furthermore, the dose rate value in microSieverts/hour is automatically calculated.

The measurements are shown at the same time via the Android application, both in numerical and analogue mode via an analogue pointer indicator. Furthermore, the instantaneous level is calculated at the same time, average and the trend graph on the trend of radioactivity in the time domain.

 

How Radioactivity is sampled ?

Radioactivity sampling times are carried out in automatic mode, it follows that the sensitivity and precision of the measurements are always very accurate. Therefore, even small levels of contamination can be discriminated both in the environment and on specific objects, with a maximum resolution of approximately 0.01 uSV/h.Micro Geiger for Android is powered by just two 1.5V micro-stylus batteries, and consumes very little, therefore the same batteries can last several months even in case of uninterrupted operation.
