ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for the biological detection of radiation by microorganisms in form of a microorganism coating provided on a sheet substrate, which microorganism coating is exposed, optionally after calibration by exposure to a defined radiation dose, to the radiation to be detected. The principle of evaluating the biologically weighted quantification of the radiation dose consists of photometrically determining the decrease in response to the radiation dose of the amount of synthetically formed products upon selectively staining the biosynthesis products.
