French term or phrase: compteur à grille
Patent about analysis of nuclear effluents/sludges.

"L’analyse est réalisée en effectuant un dépôt sur coupelle du volume d’échantillon. On rappelle que le dépôt sur coupelle consiste à évaporer un liquide par chauffage. Les résidus déposés sur la coupelle à la fin de la manipulation sont mesurés et on quantifie l’activité alpha des résidus, en utilisant par exemple un détecteur du type compteur à grille ou un détecteur semiconducteur de type silicium PIPS."

After searching in all the usual places to no avail I googled various things including ["grid counter" alpha activity]. This came up with some results but I wonder whether any expert would care to confirm this term...

"Le compteur Geiger-Müller ne détecte pas les radiations de trop faible énergie qui traverse le tube en laiton (qui fait office de cathode). Dans un compteur à grille, ce tube est remplacé par une grille à larges mailles de manière à laisser passer toutes les radiations, même les plus faibles. Souvent, le terme « compteur à grille » ne désigne pas seulement le compteur mais, par extension, l'ensemble du dispositif qui l'entoure."
