Device for the development of harmful formed by irradiation tracks on thin plates made of insulating material

摘要

An apparatus for the electrochemical development of damage tracks in dielectric transparent material sheets comprises a first elongated prismatic vessel within which an axial cavity is provided extending over most of the prism length and communicating with a circular transverse cavity which extends from an opening on one face of the prism thereinto for less than one half of the prism thickness; said longitudinal and transverse cavities being so dimensioned that when enough liquid is supplied thereinto for abundantly flooding the transverse cavity with the vessel upright and the transverse cavity lowermost, the same liquid will not reach the bottom of the transverse cavity when the vessel is set horizontally with the transverse cavity opening up. The above vessel is used is combination with a second vessel similar to the first one or with a second prismatic vessel provided with a plurality of openings on one or more of as many faces thereof, the above first vessel being hinged to the second vessel for clamping the sheet or sheets to be developed therebetween.
