Ionisation chamber system (white, left) and viewing the resulting data on a screen (right). 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.
