Wireless Geiger-Müller Sensor

The Wireless Geiger-Muller Tube Sensor from Data Harvest provides a safe and accessible means to explore the fascinating world of radioactivity. With its rugged, compact design and dedicated mounting point for stability, this sensor is an invaluable tool for physics and chemistry lessons alike. Students can measure time-dependent decay, test particle penetration through materials, and examine shielding effectiveness using real-world data. The device's large detector window ensures high sensitivity, while Bluetooth and USB connectivity allow data to be logged, monitored live, or downloaded later for deeper analysis. Ideal for individual or collaborative experiments, the sensor also supports integration with other devices through the EasySense software to expand the learning experience. Whether investigating natural sources of radiation or simulating half-life decay, this sensor transforms abstract nuclear concepts into observable classroom experiences. It even enables exploration of how radiation principles link to chemical kinetics, optics, and environmental studies.
