film dosimeter

The film dosimeter is processed in the same way as photographic film.

Some film dosimeters have two emulsions, one for low dose and the other for high dose measurements.

A Simple Photographic Film Dosimeter of Low Energy Dependence.

Electronic Dosimeter Film Dosimeter DIS - Direct Ion Storage How it Works The electronic dosimeter measures radiation exposure on a real time basis and provides immediate dose rate readings.

Though film dosimeters are still in use worldwide there has been a trend towards using other dosimeter materials that are less "energy dependant" and can more accurately assess radiation dose from a variety of radiation fields with higher accuracy.

To record the actual radiation dosages, each crew member wore a Personal Radiation Dosimeter that transmitted data to Earth as well as three passive film dosimeters that showed the cumulative radiation experienced by the crew.
