The paper presents briefly the evolution of gas detectors from counters to modern microstrip and pixel gas detectors. The ability to identify particles by ionization and transition radiation is shown using the transition radiation tracker detector in ATLAS experiment. The transition radiation detector of the ALICE experiment is described with a different design. Examples of microstrip gas detectors for usage ATLAS and CMS upgrade are presented.
