Chambers
Farmer Chamber, 0.6 cm³
Type 30010, 30011, 30012, 30013
The 0.6 cm³ PTW Farmer chambers are designed for absolute photon and
electron dosimetry with therapy dosemeters.
Type 30010 is the standard chamber. The wall material is graphite with
a protective acrylic cover, and the electrode is made of Al. The nominal
useful energy range is from 30 keV to 50 MeV.
PinPoint Chambers, 0.015 cm³, 0.03 cm³ Type 31006, 31009, 31014, 31015, 31016
The Waterproof PinPoint chambers have been specially designed for relative
beam profile measurements in a motorized water phantom for characterization
of LINAC radiation fields where superior spatial resolution is desired.
The PintPoint chambers are ideally suited for this purpose with their
inner diameters of only 2 mm (models 31006/31014) and 2.9 mm (modells
31009/31015).
Semiflex Chambers 0.125 cm³ and 0.3 cm³ Type 31010, 31013
The semiflex chambers are designed for therapy dosimetry, mainly for
dose distribution measurements in motorized water phantoms. They have
a short stem for mounting and a flexible connection cable. The nominal
useful energy range is from 30 keV to 50 Mev photons.
Roos Chamber, 0.35 cm³ Type 34001
The Roos electron chamber, developed in cooperation with Dr. Roos,
PTB-Braunschweig (National Laboratory of Germany), is used as a reference
electron chamber. It is recommended by the IAEA for high precision electron
dosimetry in radiation therapy. The Chamber has a 4 mm wide guard ring
to exclude any perturbation effect even at low electron energies. The
polarity effect is negligible (<0.5% at 10 MeV).
Advanced Markus Chamber, 0.02 cm³ Type 34045
The Advanced Markus chamber, developed in cooperation with Prof. Rosenow,Göttingen
University, Germany, is the newest development of an electron chamber,
combining advantages of both Roos and Markus chamber types. Since the
outer shape is identical to the Markus chamber, all existing Markus
chamber phantom plates and adapters can be used with the Advanced Markus
chamber.
