Posted - 04/03/2018 : 12:17:07 I just ordered the 500+ because I always wanted a gieger counter to add to my electronics tool box. The prices of these units puts them well in the consumer price range so now was a good time. I'd like to have a test source but honestly the price of tiny pieces of uranium ore is ridiculous. What are you guys and gals using? Also could someone recommend a reliable website for radioactive samples |

And better than with any strange Uranium or else source, you know what you have and can do real physics experiments! |
