2026 Coupon Codes — Up to 25% OFF for Better Geiger Members

The majority of Better Geiger professional-grade scintillator-based personal radiation dosimeters operate similarly to a Geiger tube. A brief flash of light results from the interaction of radiation with a scintillator. Radiation levels can be calculated by counting these flashes of light and calculating their intensity. Unlike a standard Geiger counter, which merely counts, it calculates radiation exposure by measuring the strength of each individual burst. In addition, because the bursts are so brief, high radiation levels can be measured instead of a Geiger counter, which quickly becomes saturated. Price tags for professional scintillator detectors normally range from $1,000 and above. The Better Geiger was made specifically to be affordable for regular people.
