The crystal would absorb the radiation, which could be quantified by placing the ring into a special heater (it's called thermoluminescent dosimetry). It would also be possible to use one of those liquid crystal rings that change color with the body temperature, filling them with extreme UV photographic gel and coating them with UV-filtering paint. Only radiations would then enter the crystal, which would slowly change color in response to radiation. Not very precise, but it would work. | |
