MX-10 Particle camera – the future of teaching particle physics at high schools and universities
Do you think that it is not possible to catch students’ attention in courses related to physics and the popularity of technical education continues to decline? Thanks to our unique aid, all students will be interested in particle physics experiments. Combining modern technology developed through collaboration of leading research institutes based in CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and Czech company JABLOTRON ALARMS comes into existence a unique educational tool - Digital particle camera MX-10.
Lessons of particle physics have not been particularly interesting for students till these days. Theoretical basis is very comprehensive and practical imaging through experiments with Geiger Müller tubes or scintillators does not bring back enough eye-catching results. Because alpha, beta or gamma particles are not visible to the human eye, it is really difficult to imagine their existence and properties for most students.
We came up with a solution! MX-10 Particle detector creates unique data visualization directly on your computer screen. Thanks to the Pixelman software, which was made to work with this detector, you can clearly differentiate individual particles according to their shape and also according to the measured energy. During physics lessons a teacher can demonstrate numerous new experiments, which could be never carried out without using the detector MX -10.
What are the main advantages of detector MX-10?
Real-time visualization of experiments
A clear recognition of alpha, beta, gamma particles and MIP
Simple data analysis using clear histograms
Top-class technology from CERN at an affordable price
Easy-to-use and user friendly control program
Simple experiment of absorption of alpha particles in water
Is it still hard for you to imagine how the digital particle camera MX-10 actually works? We will give you a tour through a simple experiment using school radiation source SRS ALPHA, which is a part of the school Edukit set. Put a layer of food foil over the chip of the detector and create a small droplet with a dropper. Move alpha source closer to the chip and you can immediately see the remarkable sight on the computer monitor. Alpha radiation was completely absorbed by water and only gamma photons passed through.
With our MX-10 digital camera the physics experiments will bring the right excitement to your physics lessons and new knowledge to students and teachers.
