Abstract
A dosimeter for ionizing radiation is of oblong shape. It comprises a gas-filled measuring chamber surrounded by a casing. THe casing is formed of two oblong frames of insulating material that are substantially similar in shape. The two frames are mounted on each other in a gas-tight manner. The anode wires are situated in the plane of separation between the frames and are secured by the frames in contact with each other. At least one of the frames is provided with a cathode over its whole length and parallel to the plane in which the anode wires are situated. Along the edge of the cathode extends a guard electrode which surrounds the cathode with a certain gap. The dosimeter is made of materials that are transparant to the ionizing radiation. It can be used particularly in slit radiography equipment in which the slitwidth can be controlled locally and independently along the length of the slit.
