MT-ERI-A11TW EXRADIN THIN-WINDOW PLANAR CHAMBER

Model 11TW chambers are thin-window versions of Model 11 chambers. These units employ a stretched conductive Kapton film of thickness 0.001 inches (3.85 mg/cm2).

Since the external dimensions of Model 11 and 11TW chambers are the same and both models use the same collector-guard arrangement, the air gap is 3 mm giving a sensitive gas volume of nearly 1 cm3 for standard-sized collector.

A protective cover is available to set over the window for underwater operation. Model A15, not suited for underwater use, is similar to A11TW but with an increased air gap for use in mammography.

Features:

  • Planar geometry
  • Homogeneous construction
  • Complete guarding
  • Thin stretched conductive window
  • Waterproof with cover over window
  • Low mass collector
  • Gas flow capability
  • Integral flexible low-noise cable
  • Separable minimum scatter stem
  • Handsome wooden case
