Digital Geiger-Muller Counter Accessories
Product Code : JL-LEP-10409
The Digital Geiger-Muller Counter Accessories (SKU JL-LEP-10409) are a radioactive source set of three sealed teaching sources, polonium-210 (alpha), strontium-90 (beta) and cobalt-60 (gamma), each in a permanently shielded 25 mm disc and stored together in a safe box. Used with a Geiger-Muller counter, the set lets students compare the three types of radiation and their penetration in radioactivity lessons. JaincoLab supplies it to schools and colleges.
Specifications
The radioactive source set comprises three legal sample sources, alpha Po-210, beta Sr-90 and gamma Co-60, each sealed in a permanently shielded disc 3 mm thick and 25 mm in diameter, marked with radionuclide, activity in microcuries, half-life and radiation type, and kept in a safe box.

Applications of the radioactive source set
The sources are used with a Geiger-Muller counter under teacher supervision to show the different ranges and penetrating powers of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, and to study how count rate varies with absorber and distance.
- Comparing alpha, beta and gamma count rates with a Geiger-Muller counter
- Testing the penetration of each radiation through paper, aluminium and lead
- Measuring how count rate changes with distance from a source
- Discussing half-life and activity from the information on each disc
- Radioactivity lessons in senior secondary and college physics
