A dosimeter which will detect as little as 0.1 Roentgens is based on the thermolescence property of manga­ nese activated fluoride crystals which will " t r a p " electrons in the solid state lattice structure which have been dis­ placed from their normal positions from radiation. The amount of trap­ ping and, therefore, the amount of luminescence, is directly proportional to the amount of radiation. This de­ vice is sensitive to x-rays, gamma rays, and other nuclear emanations. Dosimeter units are in the form of flat plaques and needles. A "read-out" unit which measures the amount of accumulated radiation dose from 0.1 to 10 Κ Roentgens consists of a heater, a multiplier phototube with suitable optical and electronic cir­ cuitry, an amplifier, and an output in­ dicating meter.
