The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry, radiological protection, experimental physics and the nuclear industry.
- It detects ionizing radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays using the ionization effect produced in a Geiger–Müller tube, which gives its name to the instrument.
- In wide and prominent use as a hand-held radiation survey instrument, the Geiger counter is perhaps one of the world's best-known radiation detection instruments.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geiger counter article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
