Function and Applications

Continuously working large diffusion cloud chamber for visualization of natural ambient radiation.

Benefits

The large diffusion cloud chamber with an 80 x 80 cm active observation surface are hermetically closed units.

They each consist of a pedestal for the chamber on top of which lies the observation chamber.

The chamber's pedestal holds the refrigerating unit, power supply, a tank for alcohol, a pump for alcohol and a timer.

On top of the pedestal, the observation chamber is installed.

The top and the sides of the observation chamber are made of glass.

Underneath the upper sheet of glass, thin heating wires are installed, which heat up this part of the chamber and thus keep the chamber from misting over.

These wires simultaneously serve as high-voltage mesh to gather up ions.
