[[File:GeigerCounterDiagram.png|right|300px|thumb|This is a [[diagram]] of a '''Geiger counter'''.]]
A '''Geiger counter''' is a device used to detect the [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]].

===About Geiger Counters===
: '''Geiger counters''' are able to 'count' the number of [[particle]]s of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]] which enter the device. This 'count' along with the [[time]] can be used to calculate the [[Count Rate|count rate]].
: '''Geiger counters''' can give the total 'count' of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising]] [[particle]]s, which has not [[unit]]s or can [[Mean Average|average]] this over time to give a [[Count Rate|count rate]].
: '''Geiger counters''' often have a speaker so the detection of a single [[particle]] of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]] can be heard.
