The best Geiger counters of 2020
The 2020 ranking of the best Geiger counters Made in Italy.
Today the Geiger counter It's a fairly well-known device, However, there are still few people who know it in depth principle of operation and the methods for its correct use. A good part of this recent popularity is undoubtedly due to the serious accident that occurred on March 11, 2011 at the Fukushima nuclear power plants..
On the internet you can therefore easily purchase one of these radioactivity detectors which are generally all imported abroad, at a low price, with the possibility of rightly or wrongly choosing the Geiger counter that seems best suited to our needs.
So to help you in the difficult decision, we decided to go “against the current” presenting you our personal ranking of only Italian instruments, in our opinion the best and only ones who, based on our skills as manufacturers, deserve to be judged the true protagonists of the year 2020.
In practice except the person in charge of the work, there are very few other potential users in possession of the necessary technical skills to be able to decide adequately in choosing a Geiger Counter best suited to their purposes.
The common user generally looks for a Geiger Counter with the lowest possible price, however, he is often unable to evaluate his real performance.
Experience teaches us that at a low selling price you can generally find Geiger counters with uncertain and quite limited performance.
The best Geiger Counters Made In Italy in order of Quality and Price.
Micro Geiger per Android : The best Beta radioactivity detector, Gamma, Xray, economical range that transforms the mobile phone into a real Geiger Counter
It's about Micro Geiger per Android a small radioactivity detector made in Italy produced by our company: ElectronicsNetwork, which works connected to a smartphone via a free Android application developed specifically by us.
Be careful, this is not your usual radiation detector “deaf” which cannot even read the background radiation as could happen in some very cheap competitor models that use a cheap semiconductor sensor and are perhaps sold inappropriately with the inappropriate wording: Geiger counter.
Micro Geiger per smartphone Android, instead it is equipped with a real borosilicate Geiger Muller tube suitable for measuring Beta radiation, Gamma and X-rays. and powered by a special booster circuit which produces high voltage levels starting from the few volts of the battery, of the order of 400-500 Volts.
Micro Geiger is a contatore geiger per smartphone which is basically cheap only in price, because it is still very sensitive and precise. E’ powered by just two batteries “AAA”, consumes very little and connects to the Android phone simply via the common headset socket.
It can be used to check the presence of ionizing radiation in the environment, in the ground, imported materials, waste, scrap metal, timber, pellett, vintage objects, building materials, like granite, flooring tiles, bricks, cement, pozzolana, tuff, and much more.
Mid-range Alpha Beta Gamma and X-ray Geiger counter, Guardian Ray Smart 712 con WiFi, microSD, schermo LCD Touch, in the end “End Window”.
Rilevatore Geiger made in Italy, Guardian Ray Smart 712 with rechargeable lithium ion battery, probe made in USA model: LND712, perfectly suitable for reading Alpha radiation, Beta, Gamma and X-rays. This is the best Geiger Counter in its category, a fair compromise between price and performance.
It has sophisticated measurement algorithms, a clear 2.4″ color LCD touch screen, the slot to read and write radioactivity data on the microSD and the integrated WiFi to update the clock and connect to the internet to download the measurements to the Cloud, which can thus be made available anywhere via dedicated web pages.
We have also implemented SMART technology in this Geiger Counter, which thus takes advantage of the so-called technology: Internet of Things”, (IOT). which defines the guidelines for all devices classifiable as smart objects.
Therefore today it is possible to connect our radioactivity detector via its WiFi to any access point and therefore to the internet. This allows the automatic updating of the time and above all to be able to automatically upload the radioactivity data to the Cloud made available free of charge by the manufacturer itself.
This Geiger can be used by professionals in scientific laboratories, by teachers in schools for teaching, to check for the presence of radioactivity in the environment, in the ground, on hospital waste, scrap metal, timber, pellett, vintage objects, building materials and much more.
Medium-high range professional Geiger counter model Guardian Ray Smart 7317 /2.4p with WiFi, microSD, LCD Touch e speciale sonda G.M. Pancake.

This model is also equipped with integrated WiFi and can publish the radioactivity data detected on the Cloud live to share anywhere via appropriate web pages..
The Accuracy of a Geiger Counter.
Low profile Geiger Counters
Very inexpensive Geiger detectors typically have measurement error levels of between 30 and 40% of the actual value of the radioactive activity measured. A reliable instrument should have at least an accuracy of between 20 and 25%.,
The professional Geiger Counter
A high quality Geiger Counter should be able to measure radioactivity with a very small margin of error on the real activity of the source, i.e. with an error between 5 and 6%,
The Lat 065 Calibration Certificate “Accredit”.
The Accredia Lat 065 calibration certificate certifies the actual precision of a radioactivity detector for the purposes permitted by law.
In the adjacent image, for example, you can see the outcome of the calibration check carried out on one of ours Contatore Geiger Guardian Ray Smart con Pancake.
