Product Details
Cloud Chamber
The Lascells cloud chamber is the perfect alternative to existing unreliable and time consuming dry ice variants.
Description
The chamber is self-contained and thermoelectrically cooled. The chamber requires no dry ice or water; the only setup necessary is the addition of isopropyl alcohol and connection to a mains socket.
The chamber contains an integrated power supply and illumination of the chamber is provided by a high intensity LED.
Using the provided source, tracks should be visible within 10 minutes.
Once running the cloud chamber can be made to run for extended periods by adding more alcohol through the access provided in the lid.

This video explores the fascinating science behind the diffusion cloud chamber, a powerful tool for visualising radiation. Aimed at those interested in understanding how this device works, we dive into the principles of radiation, the physics of cloud formation, and the role of ionising particles in tracing radioactive decay. Using a thermoelectric cloud chamber, we demonstrate how alpha and beta particles create visible tracks through the condensation of supersaturated vapor, offering a hands-on look at the otherwise invisible phenomenon of radiation. The Lascells Cloud Chamber can be used for classroom demonstrations, and provides an engaging way to introduce students to the study of particle physics and radiation.
