 ## Background compensation
 
 Geiger-Müller tubes, being composed of matter, inherently contain atoms prone to radioactive decay. Consequently, the tubes themselves emit radiation. This intrinsic radiation will depend on factors such as tube type, size, and production batch.
 
 Rad Pro lets you remove these extra counts by applying background compensation.
