Ludlum Medical Physics Model Microstar

  InLight Radiation Dosimeter Reader

Features

Introduction

The MicroStar reader provides readout for InLight System radiation dosimeters. The InLight System measures radiation exposure with aluminum oxide detectors (Al ₂O₃:C) read out by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology. The reader stimulates the detector with a light emitting diode (LED) array causing it to luminesce in proportion to the amount of radiation exposure and the intensity of stimulation light. The luminescence is detected and measured by the reader’s photo multiplier tube using a high sensitivity photon counting system. A dose calculation algorithm is then applied to the measurement to determine exposure results. This nondestructive type of readout allows for dose verification through reanalysis.

InLight menu-driven software residing on an external PC provides control over the setup, analysis, and data recording enabling dosimeter read out and reader quality control.

Designed for portability, the small lightweight reader can be used anywhere to measure immediate and accurate radiation dose assessments. For emergency response use, area monitoring, single point radiation assessment, or any radiation assessment application.

Purchase or lease of Microstar reader includes operating, analysis and dose calculation algorithm software, laptop computer, carrying case, and a choice of InLight whole body dosimeters or OSL dots for single point measurements.
