Introduction
1.1 General Description
The Model 6000-530B Image Intensifier Ion Chamber is a low profile ion chamber designed to measure
diagnostic
x-rays.
1.2 Application
The Model 6000-530B Image Intensifier Ion Chamber is specifically designed for measurement of
exposure rate at the input phosphor of fluoroscopic image intensifier tubes. Its sensitive area and form
factors have been adapted for placement inside the spot film tray of common image intensifier systems.
Also included is a detachable handle for easy insertion and removal. When the host instrument is a Model
6000 series or a Model 4000M+, precise measurements may be made at low exposure rates (down to 10
μR/min) if the Model 6000-530B Preamplifier is used (See the Model 06-524- 2000 manual for operating
instructions).
