Geiger-Muller counter (medicine) and magnetomotor (medicine)


Geiger-Muller counter (medicine)


Geiger-Muller counter
<instrument> An instrument for measuring radioactivity by counting the emission of radioactive particles.

It consists of a metallic cylinder, negatively charged, in a tube containing a fine, positively charged wire at its centre; radiations produce ionization of the gas molecules between the cylinder and the wire and result in an electrical discharge independent of the energy of the impinging particle or ray.


magnetomotor (medicine)


magnetomotor


A voltaic series of two or more large plates, producing a great quantity of electricity of low tension, and hence adapted to the exhibition of electromagnetic phenomena.
