Ionisation chamber system. Robotic arm of an automatic sample changer loading a radioactive sample into a secondary standard ionisation chamber. Ionisation chambers enable accurate measurement of the amount of radiation absorbed by an object or organic tissue (dosimetry). They operate over a wide range of radiation energies and can be used to develop radiological protection and radiotherapy treatments. Photographed at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK.
