This large cloud chamber allows the visualization of atomic particles as they pass through a super saturated Isopropanol vapour, cooled by dry ice
Energetic charged particles collide with the gas molecules causing a trail of ionized particles
These ionized gas particles act as nucleation sites on which the super saturated alcohol vapour condenses, leaving a cloud like trail that lasts for a few seconds
The built in LED lighting is collimated to produce less glare, making the traces highly visible
The foam inserts housed in a Gratnells tray, provide excellent insulation giving run times of over one hour, as well as convenient storage
The large tank size means the cloud chamber is even capable of detecting background radiation
Supplied with a thoriated welding rod to use as a source and full instructions
