This is for a patent and I have to keep it as one sentence.
My first question is - is it clear that "and a first, a second and a third flat electrode" refers to "ionizing particles detector " that is "ionizing particles detector comprising a gas chamber ..., and a first, a second and a third flat electrode". Maybe a comma should be added before "provided " ?
The second question is if the word "inlet" is ok here or some other word like "entrance", "entering" would be better.
Thank you!
===
The detecting means comprise at least one ionizing particles detector comprising a gas chamber provided with a window for lateral or frontal inlet of the illumination beam, and a first, a second and a third flat electrode, being placed parallel with one another.

a colon after comprising?
this is a quite similar - if not the source - sentence (which is then quite clear):
[...]illuminated by the flat illumination beam, wherein said detecting means comprise at least one ionizing particles detector comprising at least:
one gas chamber provided with an inlet window for said illumination beam, and in this gas chamber,
a first, a second and a third flat electrode, each flat electrode being placed parallel with one another in order to form a conversion space for the conversion of the illumination beam into electrons and an amplification space for the amplification by multiplication of these electrons, said inlet window being placed at the level of the conversion space in order to ensure the inlet of said illumination beam into said conversion space, said amplification space having an amplification length which is formed by the distance separating said second and said third electrodes, of less than 200 µm, [...]
