Mazur Instruments PRM-8000 Handheld Geiger Counter
Our Comments:
This meter is capable of measuring beta and gamma radiation, as well as alpha radiation and x-rays.
It is a rather hefty unit, measuring 5.625 x 3.25 x 1.367 inches, but it is robust – designed for serious work.
The PRM-8000 monitors Average, Minimum and Maximum dose rates in microRoentgen/hour, milleRoentgen/hour, microSievert/hour, Counts Per Second or Counts Per Minute.
Claimed battery life is outstanding – over 6-years under normal conditions from a single, readily available 9-volt lithium battery that is user-installable.
Designed by Mazur Instruments and manufactured in the USA, the PRM-8000 Geiger counter and nuclear radiation monitor features support for headphones, external speakers, external power and USB data exchange (using optional USB adapter cable).
Amazon customer reviews are very complimentary.
