The principle behind a Geiger counter is that a tube filled with an inert gas is charged electrically allowing for the detection of radiation by sensors. It detects radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays using the ionization produced in a Geiger–Müller tube, which gives its name to the instrument. In wide and prominent use as a hand-held radiation survey instrument, it is perhaps one of the world's best-known radiation instruments. Very little is known of the Professor's implementation. No tubes or electrical source is seen, but a measuring scale can be seen on the face of his counter. It is unknown how exactly the Professor calibrates his Geiger counter to ensure his readings are accurate. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22image%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFile%3AGeiger1.png%7Cthumb%7C300px%7CThe%20Professor%20takes%20readings%20with%20his%20Geiger%20counter%5D%5D%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Geiger1.png%22%2C%22params%22%3A%7B%22alt%22%3A%22Geiger1%22%2C%22thumbnail%22%3Atrue%2C%22caption%22%3A%22The%20Professor%20takes%20readings%20with%20his%20Geiger%20counter%22%2C%22width%22%3A300%2C%22captionParsed%22%3A%22The%20Professor%20takes%20readings%20with%20his%20Geiger%20counter%22%7D%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-1725775885f60bbbac2b93" alt="" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gilligan5935/images/b/b9/Geiger1.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/300?cb=20140721171356" width="300" height="225" class="image thumb withCaption" data-image-name="Geiger1.png" data-image-key="Geiger1.png" type="image" /> </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Components</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Bamboo (housing, tripod) </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Metal components (various) </li></ul> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Episode(s)</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Meet%20the%20Meteor%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Meet%20the%20Meteor%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BMeet%20the%20Meteor%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-1725775885f60bbbac2b93" href="/wiki/Meet_the_Meteor" title="Meet the Meteor">Meet the Meteor</a> </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Pass%20the%20Vegetables%2C%20Please%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Pass%20the%20Vegetables%2C%20Please%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BPass%20the%20Vegetables%2C%20Please%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-1725775885f60bbbac2b93" href="/wiki/Pass_the_Vegetables,_Please" title="Pass the Vegetables, Please">Pass the Vegetables, Please</a> </li></ul> <hr / data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> <p /> Loading editor Objects Inventions Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
