Try

\documentclass[preview]{standalone}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\begin{equation*}
\textrm{RBE}=\left.\frac{D_{\textrm{photon}}}{D_{\textrm{test}}}\right\rvert_{\textrm{iso-effect}}
\end{equation*}
\end{document}

    The - in “iso-effect” is probably not a minus sign, but an ordinary hyphen, thus \textrm is the better choice (the same applies for “photon” and “test” as well). I would also move \left. to the left of \frac (it doesn’t change the output but is probably semantically correct).

  • looks to me like the "RBE" should also be \textrm.

  • @barbarabeeton Looking at the provided figure, I think you are right. Edited.

  • Yes, RBE is not a variable.
