You need a VERY thin wall to make radiations enter the chamber... so better is if you e.g. use a thin aluminium foil window in front side of the tube.

The rest you could made of any conductive material, but much better if the back side is shielded with lead 1mm walls. That way your chanber will be "directional" and (supposing it's useful) you could locate the source of radiations.

A good experiment is with lantern mantle (torium/radium doped) and old fluorescent tags (like old german ones...).

Kind regards,
Max
