Geiger Muller Tube Holder
Geiger Muller Tube Holder (Product Code: SLE/PHY/42) is an aluminium box housing a G.M. tube socket, used to mount a Geiger–Müller tube and connect it to a counter for radioactivity measurements in physics laboratories. Designed for use with the Scaler Timer, it connects through a 1 m co-axial lead ending in a standard P.E.T. connector and has a stabilising resistor already wired inside. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the GM Tube Holder Used For?
The Geiger Muller Tube Holder turns a bare GM tube into a bench-ready detector. The tube plugs into the socket inside the aluminium box, and the co-axial lead links it to the counter, so students can place the detector at a measured distance from a source and record counts. Common practicals include background counts, count rate against distance, absorption by paper or metal sheets, and half-life measurement.
Because the 2.2 megohm stabilising resistor sits inside the box in series with the anode, there is no loose resistor to wire on the bench, which keeps a Geiger Muller tube set-up in an Indian school or college lab tidy and repeatable. Before counting, set the tube voltage on the counter to suit your GM tube, and keep the delicate tube window away from fingers and sharp objects.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of detector stations, i.e. how many Geiger Muller Tube Holders you need.
- Whether you also need the Scaler Timer the holder is designed to work with.
- Whether you need a GM tube, as a tube is not listed as part of the holder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a GM tube included with the Geiger Muller Tube Holder?
The Geiger Muller Tube Holder is described as the aluminium housing with the G.M. tube socket, lead and stabilising resistor; a GM tube is not listed as part of it. Please ask us about a suitable tube when you request a quotation.
Which counter does the Geiger Muller Tube Holder work with?
The Geiger Muller Tube Holder is designed for use with the Scaler Timer. It connects through a 1 m co-axial lead terminated in a standard P.E.T. connector, so check that any other counter has a matching input before ordering.
Why does the Geiger Muller Tube Holder contain a resistor?
The Geiger Muller Tube Holder has a 2.2 megohm stabilising resistor wired internally in series with the anode connection. Keeping it inside the aluminium box means the bench wiring stays simple and the resistor stays protected from damage.
How should the Geiger Muller Tube Holder be handled?
Hold the Geiger Muller Tube Holder by its aluminium box rather than the lead, and avoid kinking the 1 m co-axial cable. Switch off the tube voltage at the counter before inserting or removing a GM tube, and cover the tube window when not in use.
Who supplies the Geiger Muller Tube Holder?
The Geiger Muller Tube Holder is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and institutions in India and international markets, together with scaler timers and other radioactivity items on request.
