Geiger Counter for your smartphone?

Postby Lancer1993 » Fri Aug 21, 2015 8:18 am

Has anyone bought/tried a Geiger Counter for their smartphone?

They can be bought for less than $50 and just plug into the audio jack then DL the app and apparently you have a working Geiger Counter in your pocket!

Hey Craig,

Why would you be looking to buy a Geiger counter ? I use the proper hand helds at work but don't see a need for one after hours.

There was a special on SBS about uranium and well I checked on eBay Geiger counter, as you do, and was surprised how cheap they are.

I agree it's something you'd probably use a couple of times.

BTW - someone has made a smart phone with a Geiger counter built in, yes along with GPS and your camera you can now check radiation and it's part of the phone, no need for an adapter.

Fair enough, I only have Geiger counters cause I use radiation ( cobolt 60 )on a daily basis.

Does your job have something to do with medical or radiography Craig? As I believe it's mainly used for sterilisation, radiography or gauging/levelling instruments.
