This Geiger Counter is great, and it's super accurate. I Love the wand feature, and the software and set up make it so easy to collect data and analyze it using a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel. I would highly recommend getting this product for both professionals and amateurs.

This geiger counter would be useful after the tragedy in Japan, but the price is not within the reach of a normal consumer!
