[Title of the Invention]
Dosimeter and reading device
[Claims]
1. A dosimeter comprising thermo-luminescence dust (2, 3) loaded in the base (1a, 1b) made
of the material which can be heated by microwave radiation. (See Figure 1)
2. A reading device of a dosimeter comprising a reader consisting of a pair of coil (11)
connected to microwave power source and a photo multiplier (12) placed by the side of each
coil at right angle to the coil, and a means for arranging a dosimeter between the pair of coil
(11) to detect a beam emitted by the thermo-luminescence dust with the photo multiplier
(12). (See Figure 2)
[Excerpt from Detailed Description of the Invention and Drawings]
This invention related to a dosimeter, which uses light, emitted by the
thermo-luminescence material mixed in the base as a beam by heating. In the prior art, it has
been heated directly by a heater, the separation of the holder and base is needed to avoid
heating the holder, which keeps the base including thermo-luminescence dust from being
heated.
In this invention, it is heated by microwave instead of a heater, and the holder is not
heated by microwave. As a result, it can be used without removing the base from the holder.

[Explanation]
A dosimeter of the specified invention (claim1) and a reading device of the related
invention (claim 2) are used in combination, so that the technical fields of both inventions have
a direct relationship. The industrial fields of application are the same.
In addition, they are dealing with the same problem to be solved: to avoid heating a holder
when dosage is measured, using the technology of microwave heating.
