Geiger-2 Dosimeter / Geiger Counter / Radiation Detector

In an era where invisible threats lurk in the most unexpected places, the digital  Geiger -2 Portable Dosimeter / Geiger Counter emerges as an essential companion for those committed to safeguarding their health.

This sleek, pocket-sized marvel harnesses the same military-grade technology trusted by professionals, yet it's simple enough for anyone to use. Whether you're navigating daily urban environments or preparing for potential nuclear emergencies, the Geiger-2 ensures you’re always aware of your radiation exposure.

With its precise measurements, full-color LCD display, and robust, rechargeable battery bolstered by an integrated solar panel, this device provides peace of mind and a proactive stance against the unseen dangers of radiation. Embrace a new level of vigilance with the Geiger-2, because knowing your environment is the first step to protecting yourself and your loved ones. 

We’re exposed to background radiation every day of our lives. While some exposure to radiation is natural, higher concentrations can be the result of poorly shielded electronic equipment, X-rays, CT scans, or even air travel.

Beyond the substantial threat of nuclear meltdowns, disasters, and fallout, this excess background radiation can add up over the years and contribute to serious health issues. 

Fortunately, there’s now a practical solution you can take everywhere to monitor and measure your exposure—the MIRA Safety Geiger-2 Portable Dosimeter/ Geiger Counter.

Only slightly larger than a ballpoint pen, but sensitive enough to detect the Geiger-2 is a full-featured handheld dosimeter that offers the same reliability as a professional-grade Geiger counter at a fraction of the price and without the bulk. It’s built from impact-resistant polymer and has an easy-to-read LCD screen with two buttons, making it one of the simplest and most user-friendly dosimeters on the market today. 

Unlike traditional analog Geiger counters, the Geiger-2 is fully digital and has various extremely useful features and modes. Customizable settings for exposure tolerances and long-term reading tracking provide unrivaled clarity and customizability for various situations. Power management features can be used to optimize battery life and manage the included solar panel.

Best of all, the Geiger-2 tucks easily into a pocket, purse, or backpack, so it’s always ready when you need it—providing a potentially life-saving tool that makes you more aware of your environment and ready to face a range of twenty-first century threats. The first step toward protecting yourself from background radiation is identifying it with a reliable radiation meter.

The Geiger-2 is powered by an internal rechargeable LiPo battery with a 30-day extended battery life. Recharging takes just two hours.

NOTE: The integrated solar panel provides a supplemental trickle charge. It will extend the battery's 30-day charge when exposed to direct sunlight, but the Geiger-2 will still require regular recharging via the included charging cable.

Only use indirect sunlight to charge the device.

It’s a perfect addition for bug-out bags and disaster prep, as it’s compact, reliable, and durable.

So, grab a Geiger-2 Portable Dosimeter / Geiger Counter and learn more about your environment today!

FAQs about the MIRA Safety handheld radiation detector (Geiger-2 Dosimeter)

What is the difference between a Geiger counter and a dosimeter?

A Geiger counter is used for detecting and measuring radiation levels, while a dosimeter measures the accumulated radiation dose over time. Both are essential tools for monitoring radiation exposure, but a dosimeter is more focused on long-term radiation dose tracking.

Why is a Geiger counter also called a radiation meter?

A Geiger counter is called a radiation meter because it measures the intensity of ionizing radiation, often displayed as CPM or CPS. It provides real-time data on radiation levels, making it an effective tool for radiation detection and monitoring.

Can a Geiger counter detect x-ray radiation?

Yes, a Geiger counter can detect x-ray radiation, along with gamma radiation. It is commonly used in medical and industrial settings to monitor x-ray exposure and ensure safety standards are met.

What is the function of the Geiger-Mueller tube in a Geiger counter?

The Geiger-Mueller tube is the core component of a Geiger counter. It contains a gas that ionizes when exposed to radiation, producing an electrical pulse that the device counts. This process enables the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation.

What are common uses for a Geiger counter?

Geiger counters are used in various fields, including nuclear power plants, medical facilities, environmental monitoring, and by individuals for personal radiation safety. They are essential for detecting contamination and ensuring safe radiation levels in normal background settings.
