Diffusion Chamber of Alpha, Beta Particles and of Electrons
Product Code : JA-PLE-4289
The Diffusion Chamber of Alpha, Beta Particles and of Electrons (SKU JA-PLE-4289) is a diffusion cloud chamber that makes the tracks of ionising radiation visible: high-energy alpha particles, lower-energy beta particles and electrons from radioactive sources, as well as cosmic rays. It needs no dry ice; it is cooled with running tap water or with iced water recycled by the included pump. This diffusion cloud chamber has a 6 inch viewing area with built-in lighting and high-voltage source.
Specifications
The chamber has a 6 inch diameter display area, a built-in light source and high-voltage source, runs on a 12 V DC supply and is cooled by cold tap water or by water recycled from an ice tank by the included pump, with no dry ice needed.

Applications of the diffusion cloud chamber
In the chamber a layer of supersaturated vapour condenses along the ionised path of each particle, so students can see and compare the short thick tracks of alpha particles, the thinner wandering tracks of beta particles and occasional cosmic-ray tracks.
- Visualising alpha, beta and electron tracks from radioactive sources
- Observing cosmic-ray tracks from the natural background
- Comparing range and ionisation of different types of radiation
- Nuclear and particle physics lessons in senior-secondary, B.Sc and M.Sc courses
- Science exhibitions and outreach demonstrations
