Power system for dosimeter reader

A portable dosimeter reader device includes an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) reader for reading one or more OSL sensors of a dosimeter sled; a sled slider that is driven by a sled slider motor to position in turn each of the one or more OSL sensors of the dosimeter sled at a reading position where the OSL reader reads each respective OSL sensor; a display for displaying information relating to reading the one or more OSL sensors; and a battery compartment for one or more batteries, wherein the OSL reader includes an LED light source, wherein the battery compartment is electrically connected to the OSL reader, the sled slider motor and the display, and wherein the one or more batteries provide all of the power required for operating the OSL reader, the sled slider motor and the display.

Described is a portable dosimeter reader that is small in size and light in weight comprising an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) reader for reading one or more OSL sensors of a dosimeter sled. The portable dosimeter may also include a sled slider that is driven by an engine to position in turn each of the one or more OSL sensors of the dosimeter sled at a reading position where the OSL reader reads each respective OSL sensor. A display may be provided for displaying information relating to reading the one or more OSL sensors. The portable dosimeter may also include a battery compartment for one or more batteries and a case enclosing the device.
