A microdosimetry chamber for low-energy X rays.
A wall-less proportional counter designed to measure single event spectra produced by low energy X rays is described. The sensitive volume of the counter and the housing are made entirely of non-metallic materials to minimise distortions in the secondary electron spectrum.
