Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our whole body monitoring options.
Our OSL dosimeter measures radiation exposure using beryllium oxide to store energy when exposed to radiation. The material traps electrons in higher energy states, then a light source stimulates the electrons to release the energy during processing and emit light. We measure the intensity of this light, which is proportional to the radiation dose, to determine the amount of exposure. OSL badges can be re-read multiple times for verification and archival purposes. Learn More →
Our TLD dosimeter measures radiation exposure using thermoluminescent materials. When exposed to ionizing radiation, these materials trap electrons in an excited state. To measure the accumulated radiation dose, we heat your TLD badge in a specialized reader, releasing the trapped electrons and emitting light proportional to the radiation dose received. This process allows for precise measurement of radiation exposure to extremities. Learn More →
The NetDose™ Dosimeter utilizes advanced silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology to continuously monitor and measure radiation exposure in real time. Our digital dosimeter takes incremental readings every hour and stores the data internally; wearers can transmit data on demand or automatically on a weekly basis for timely and accurate dose measurements.
The dosimeter’s digital nature allows for easy reassignment to new employees, eliminating the need for frequent shipping exchanges and ensuring consistent radiation monitoring without interruption. Learn More →
