they are exposed to the object(see Figure 
1). 

 

 

 

 

 

(Figure 1) 

  If the unit shows a significantly higher 

reading with increasing beep sound volume 
in this position, you can be certain that the 
object is emitting Beta radiation. 

  Now position the unit as shown in Figure 2. 

In this position, where radiation cannot pass 
directly through the slots (Beta radiation 
travels in straight lines for the most part ) 
only gamma and X-ray radiation from the 
object wil be detected.
