Abstract
The heating element in a conventional radiation dosimeter reading apparatus which functions to both physically support a dosimeter as well as heat the dosimeter to a temperature of luminescence, is modified to include a dished portion, or recessed portion, having a flat bottom and sufficient dimensions to receive the radiation dosimeter and allow for the positioning of a transparent retainer, i.e., a glass plate, in contact with the dosimeter to physically retain the dosimeter in the recess to avoid deformation of the dosimeter when heated, and transmit light emanating from the dosimeter when heated.
