Experiment Guide
We offer free downloadable engaging experiments with MX-10 particle camera, which were created in cooperation with IEAP CTU Prague.
For example, try interesting experiments with our new low-emitting 241Am (9.5 kBq) alpha/gamma source, which are suitable for high schools, but as an introduction to the technology, they can even serve very well at universities.
