Abstract
In the measurement of small ionisations it is usual and desirable to employ an ionisation-chamber whose central collecting electrode serves also as an electroscope, of the gold-leaf or the quartz-fibre type. As an instrument for the measurement of quantity of electricity even the most sensitive of these is inferior, by a factor of about 100, to the combination of an ionisation-chamber and a Compton electrometer. The new type of ionisation electroscope here described combines a high voltage-sensitivity with a small capacity and has a sensitivity for quantity of electricity of the same order as the combination mentioned.
