Abstract
A device for performing thermoluminescent dosimetry and a method for making the same is disclosed. A thermoluminescent dosimetry device in accordance with the invention comprises a chip holder for holding thermoluminescent chips in free-space, such that the thermoluminescent chips are capable of being directly addressed after exposure to radiation. The chips are preferably suspended in free-space through support structures which minimize the contact with the thermoluminescent chips. A radiation detection device is preferably fabricated by placing the chip holder and a filter in a cup and thermally scaling a lid to edges of the cup.
