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