Sethula umtshina wethu wemisebe yenuzi othuthuke kakhulu - i-Geiger Miller Counter. Idizayinelwe ukuthola ukushuba kwemisebe ye-ionizing, okuhlanganisa izinhlayiya ze-alpha, izinhlayiya ze-beta, imisebe ye-gamma, nama-X ray, leli thuluzi liyithuluzi elibalulekile ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene nasezinsizeni.
Umgomo wokusebenza wekhawunta ye-Geiger-Miller ulula kodwa uyasebenza. Lapho i-voltage esetshenziswa ophenyweni ifinyelela ebangeni elithile, ama-ion enziwe imisebe eshubhu ayakhuliswa ukuze akhiqize ama-pulses kagesi anosayizi ofanayo. Ama-electronics axhunyiwe abe eserekhoda lawa ma-pulses, okuvumela ukulinganiswa kwenani lemisebe ngeyunithi ngayinye yesikhathi. Esinye sezici ezivelele zemishini yethu yokuthungatha imisebe ye-nuclear ukunemba nokuzwela kwazo okuyingqayizivele. Ithola ngokunembile ngisho nenani elincane kakhulu lemisebe ye-ionizing, iqinisekisa imiphumela ethembekile nethembekile. Izibali ze-Geiger Miller zenzelwe ukuthi zisebenziseke kalula futhi zibe lula. Isibonisi sayo esicacile sinikeza ulwazi olufundeka kalula, olwenza abasebenzisi bakwazi ukuhumusha ngokushesha amazinga emisebe futhi bathathe isinyathelo esifanele njengoba kudingeka. Ngaphezu kwalokho, idizayini ehlangene nephathekayo iyenza ifanelekele ukusetshenziswa kwenkundla nelabhorethri. Ukuphepha kubaluleke kakhulu lapho usebenza nemisebe futhi imitshina yethu yakhelwe ukubeka phambili ukuvikela komsebenzisi. Ilandela izindinganiso eziqinile zokuphepha futhi isebenzisa isivikelo ukunciphisa noma yikuphi ukuchayeka emisebeni okungaba khona. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi abasebenzisi bangasebenzisa okokusebenza ngokuzethemba nokuphepha phakathi nemisebenzi yokutholwa kwemisebe. Izitholi zethu zemisebe yenuzi zingamathuluzi abalulekile ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zisetshenziswa ezikhungweni zezokwelapha, ezimbonini zamandla enuzi, ezindaweni zokucwaninga noma zokuqapha indawo ezungezile, izinto zokubala ze-Geiger-Müller zinikeza idatha ebalulekile ngezinjongo zokwenza izinqumo nokuphepha.
