Dosimeter Limitations
Detection limits –
LUXEL+® - The smallest amount of radiation that can be measured with a LUXEL+® is 1 mRem.
TLD – The smallest amount of radiation that can be measured with the TDL ring is 10 mRem.
Luxel+® and TLD's will only detect Gamma and mid to high energy Beta particles. They will not detect Alpha particles, low energy Beta particles, or Neutrons (special dosimetry can be purchased from out dosimetry contactor for neutron dosimeters).
Luxel+® dosimeters will only measure external radiation, it does not measure internal radiation uptakes. If you have questions about internal deposition please call our office at 1-6141.
