[edit] Summary

Configuration of GM tubes determines the types of radiation that it can detects. For example, a thin mica window on a GM Tube (shown here) will allow for the detection of alpha radiation, where as GM Tubes without a thin mica layer are too thick for the alpha and low energy beta radiation to pass through and be detected.
