A '''Geiger counter''' (or '''Geiger–Müller counter''') is an instrument that is used for the measure of [[Radiation safety|radiation]]. It was invented by Hans Geiger, who is perhaps more famous among physicists (though not the general public) for the [[Geiger-Marsden experiment]], which was the experiment that led Ernest Rutherford to deduce the existence of the atomic nucleus.
