Description:

Wilson cloud chamber made by the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co. England. Wilson invented his cloud chamber to make visible and track the paths of sub-atomic particles in 1912. The first prototype was constructed in the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge and is preserved in their museum. This rare commercial example has an integral vacuum pump.
