His tube design increased the counter's sensitivity to weak radiation sources by lowering the background noise of the counter itself. Figure 1 (upper left) is a cut-away view of Friedman's counter tube mounted within a container, called a shield. Figure 2 (lower left) is a front-end view of the tube. Figure 3 (upper right) is a cross-section of the tube showing the arrangement of parts and the structure used for mounting the tube within the shield. Figure 4 (lower right) is a cross-section diagram showing the tube anode and cathode, and a plot of the electric field within the tube. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Geiger_counter_patent/Geiger_counter_patent.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
