Small muon cloud chamber I made on October 18, 2017. Quite a few trails are visible throughout this short video. 0:16 Center Left - Bright medium length trail --possible three additional small trails near last trail 0:24 Center - Long trail nearly length of entire cloud chamber 0:44 Center right - Bright medium length trail There may be other trails that I missed or didn't point out. This cloud chamber was made with a glass lantern globe bought from ACE hardware. I used felt soaked in 99% isopropyl alcohol and situated as the ceiling of the chamber. The bottom was 1/8" thick aluminum plate covered with black paper and protected with plastic wrap if I remember correctly. The aluminum plate was placed on a solid chunk of 1" thick dry ice.
