FWIW, I have a rather standard Victoreen GM counter and it only detects
Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation. I'm not sure if X-rays fall into any of
those major categories. I did use it to test for radiation from thoriated
tungsten. Found none measurable. Hmm...might take it to the dentist the next
time we have an encounter.

Matt,
 
Using a Geiger-Mueller detector, I have not been able to find any
measureableradiation output even with the tube located three inches beyond
the
maxstreamer length with output ~ 380 kV, nor from the spark gap at a
distance
of 4inches. (-at-15KV rms.)
 
Is a Geiger-Mueller detector capable of detecting X-irradiation?
