Estimating the term…
In an apparatus for reading codes of a thermoluminescence detector, a housing including an optical unit is disposed on a base together with a disc-like magazine, which is rotatably supported adjacent the housing and provided with an annular array of recesses receiving the thermoluminescence detectors to be examined. The housing has a side opening through which the magazine extends into the housing, in which a light source is disposed for the homogeneous illumination of the thermoluminescence detectors from one side thereof, A CCD camera is disposed in the housing at the other side of the magazine for recording the illuminescence generated by the detectors when exposed to the light from the light source for determining the radiation exposure of thermoluminescence detectors.
An apparatus for reading codes of thermoluminescence detectors comprising a base with a housing including an optical unit, a disc-like magazine rotatably supported on said base adjacent said housing and having formed therein, in an annular array, recesses receiving said thermoluminescence detectors such that they are all arranged at the same distance from the axis of rotation of said disc-like magazine, and a drive module for rotating said magazine, said housing having an opening through which said disc-like magazine extends into said housing, and including a light source for the homogeneous illumination of the thermoluminescence detectors, a light carrier sensor structure for determining the position of the thermoluminescence detector relative to said light source and a CCD camera for recording the luminescence generated by said detectors when exposed to the light from said light source.
