It's one of those bare bone circuit board ones. I'm hoping to hook it up to an arduino or something, and from there to bluetooth and maybe even to a phone. The tube does beta particle detection, which is something I really want.
It was €90, unfortunately I couldn't justify buying a gamma scout or similar, which start at about €300.
Corona is really making me conscious that nuclear accident in Europe is something that will happen, sooner or later, and I better be prepared.

Just make sure you keep the tube covered when not in use, pretty sure they run out of juice.

Found a piece of Uranium glass today using the counter. Pretty neat.
Made a lego case for it.
I need to go out and see if I can find anything interesting.
