Abstract
The radiation-induced increase in the optical density of red Perspex is shown to provide a reliable method of determining spatial dose distributions for high energy radiation in the megarad range. The technique has particular advantages in the examination of dose variations on a microscopic scale, an automatic scanning microdensitometer being utilized for these measurements. Several partical examples are discussed.Keywords
