The G10H is a side window Geiger-Muller tube designed to detect ionising radiation. The tube has a low pressure gas filling and an incoming particle will cause some ionisation of the gas. The ionised gas conducts and a pulse is produced across the tube. These pulses are counted and a rate indicates the strength of the radiation.
Rob has pointed out that the PET60 is virtually identical but has a working voltage of 410 Volts.
