Diffusion Cloud Chamber (Peltier cooled)

(Adolf Cortel 2007) (If you like this video, have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1I25RybvPM)
Diffusion cloud chamber. The radioactive source is a speck of radium from an old hand clock. All the tracks are due to alpha particles; some thin tracks due to electrons, arising mainly from the ionization by gamma or cosmic rays, can also be observed. The cooling to -30 ºC is made with a Peltier cell in a heatsink and an ice bath
