Running at 350v with the dob-50 tube (normally would run at 390v) I am getting on average 0.7 counts per minute which is fine for me as I did not want the counter clicking away at the normal 6-12 counts /min I get for this tube. I am assuming that with the lower voltage only higher energy particles are triggering.
