Inside a radiation detector

This picture shows the board of a gamma-ray detector known as a Geiger-Muller counter.  Gamma rays are detected by the tube, counted and the count shown on the LCD. The words at the top of the board warn of high voltage (400-500V).
The type of radiation detected depends on the tube used.
