RTD
Platinum wire resistive sensors
Class A
±0.03 to ±0.15 °C accuracy
- K instruments (also sold at Pico tech) Pt100 probes for air, immersion
- Fluke FP-Plus probe used for Fluke's food-temp measuring meter (how convenient!) Pt1000 (1000Ω at 0°C) Bit squat but surely adaptable
Class B
- Omega PRTF-10 General purpose class B ±0.3 °C accuracy
Radioactivity
Geiger Mueller Tubes - Handy for people looking to make random number generators or detect radiation. Tubes tend to be Cold War old stock from Russia/US, and tend to be used for detecting Gamma and Beta radiation. You'll need a high voltage boost supply - check nixie tube projects for some HV supply designs
Here are some places you can find tubes and kits: Chaney Electronic goldmine Ebay United Nuclear
