A description is given of an electronic electrometer, which employs a vibrating dynamic condenser excited by the generator. The ionization chamber is in the form of a cylindrical capacitor suitable for measuring gamma radiation in the range of 0 to 0.150 milliroentgens. It is charged to a definite potential by the electrometer's own voltage stabilizer. It is then subjected to gamma radiation thus undergoing the discharge that is proportional to the product of the radiation intensity and time. By placing it in a socket of the dynamic condenser, the displacements of electrostatic charges are detected which, after suitable amplification, are measured by observing the meter readings. (P.C.H.)
