Similar in design to a parallel plate chamber, the upper plate of an extrapolation chamber can be lower using micrometer screws.

In this case, the number of interactions are less and the dose measured is under estimated from the measured dose under standard conditions. Conventionally, the term "ionization chamber" refers exclusively to those detectors which collect all the charges created by direct ionization within the gas through the application of an electric field. 2012 Jul;5(2):172-7. doi: 10.1007/s12194-012-0151-8.

The domestic smoke detector is a good example of this, where a natural flow of air through the chamber is necessary so that smoke particles can be detected by the change in ion current. These chambers often have an end window made of material thin enough, such as mylar, so that beta particles can enter the gas volume. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies Quincy, MA: National Fire Protection Association. A. [7], In medical physics and radiotherapy, ionization chambers are used to ensure that the dose delivered from a therapy unit[8] or radiopharmaceutical is what is intended. [11] This covers all radiation instrument technologies, and is a useful comparative guide to the use of ion chamber instruments. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. The material is selected to have an atomic number similar to that of air so that the wall is said to be "air equivalent" over a range of radiation beam energies.
