Hi folks,

I know this is not a real project or so, but i just wanted to share this 
with you.


I was conducting experiments with radiation today, and when i looked at the 
analog scale of my Ludlum Model 3 geiger counter, i was wondering how this 
would look in neon. Then i came up with the idea by controlling an IN-13 
with it. Basically i just clamped the analog meter (i did not want to 
physically modify anything on the meter) and take a voltage from the 1mA 
analog scale there. I amplified this signal by an opamp (LTC6268 was the 
one i had, any opamp will do). To control the level i added a potentiometer 
in the feedback path. The output of the opamp was controlling the IN-13 
current via a Transistor (KSP44 in my case. MSP44 will do too). 

The complete circuit was made from parts that i just had and is fully 
analog.

I've made a short video where you can see how this looks. I'm switching 
between "fast" and "slow" mode for counts about in the middle of the video.

I kinda like how this looks and works :-) maybe i will 3D-print a mount for 
the IN-13 (with a scale) and attach it to my other Ludlum meter. 

What do you guys think about it?
