Abstract
The advantages and limitations of Geiger counter techniques in a laboratory applying X-ray methods to a variety of problems are discussed and some simple examples are described. These illustrate the convenience of its use in obtaining semi-quantitative results very rapidly and in following the effects of various treatments. The accuracy of the method is considered in relation to the statistical effects associated with the operation of the Geiger counter and the influence of damping in the recording system.
