The Model 14 Microchambers were developed specifically for assessment of the radiation fields encountered in stereotactic radiosurgery.
Two versions of the Model 14 are available: A14, which is constructed of air-equivalent plastic C552, and T14, which is constructed of tissue-equivalent plastic A150.
Outwardly, the Microchamber is identical to the Miniature Shonka Thimble Chamber for both use the same base and shell. The Microchamber, however, has a special collector-guard assembly, with a collector of zero length, which confines the sensitive volume to the very tip of the chamber.
Features:
- Axially symmetric design
- Extremely small gas volume
- Homogeneous construction
- Complete guarding
- Waterproof construction
- Gas flow capability
- Integrally flexible, low-noise cable
- Separable minimum scatter stem
- Matching equilibrium caps
- Adaptable to RSVP phantom
