Key takeaways

• Radiacode 103 is a radiation detector available from Amazon for$325 . If you have more modest needs, the slightly lower-spec Radiacode 102 is only$255 .
• It's a fantastic, versatile, highly accurate nuclear radiation detector.
  
• The capability of the iOS app is behind that of the Android app.

I love using technology to give me superpowers, especially when it comes to enhancing my senses. Modern tech offers incredible tools that let us see things otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

From thermal cameras to night vision to a weird plastic sheet that's reactive to magnetic fields, I love having the ability to uncover hidden aspects of the world around me. These advanced technologies open up new dimensions of perception, making the invisible visible and transforming our interaction with our environment.

In my quest to harness technology for superhuman abilities, I recently purchased a Geiger counter -- but not just any Geiger counter. The Radiacode 103 nuclear radiation detector  is an ultrafast sensitive scintillation detector designed for searching and measuring Gamma, X-ray, and hard Beta radiation in real time. With this high-performance tool, I can accurately detect and analyze various types of radiation, further expanding my ability to uncover hidden aspects of the world around me.
