Soft X-Ray Chamber 34013

Thin window plane-parallel chamber for dose measurements in superficial radiation therapy

  • Ultra thin entrance window
  • For low-energy photons from 15 kV to 70 kV
  • Extremely small size
  • Sensitive volume 0.005 cm3, vented

The 34013 soft X-Ray chamber is used for reference dose measurements in low-energy photon beams as used in superficial radiation therapy.

The chamber’s small size enables the user to perform measurements with excellent spatial resolution.
Correction factors needed for the determination of absorbed dose to water are available.
The chamber is designed for the use in solid state phantoms.
