Abstract
A simple UV and gamma radiation optical dosimeter is presented. The organic dye degradation with radiation absorption is used to measure the radiation dose. The design, the electronic circuit, the calibration and the operatio n procedure are also described in detail. Finally, the results of actual ap plications are shown with beta-carotene in an acetone/ethanol solution util ised as an optical probe. (C) 1999 Elsevier. Science Ltd. All rights reserv ed.
