The TLD consists of an inner plaque and plaque holder. Two lithium fluoride thermoluminescent chips (one for whole body and one for skin dose) are mounted on the inner plaque. When gamma rays strike the thermoluminescent chip, some of the electrons are displaced. These electrons are stored in the chip to be read at a later date by a TLD Reader at the Bureau of Radiation and Medical Devices.

Le dosimètre est formé d'une plaque intérieure et d'un porte-plaque. Deux cristaux thermoluminescents au fluorure de lithium (un pour le corps entier et l'autre pour la peau) sont montés sur la plaque intérieure. Lorsque le rayonnement gamma frappe le cristal thermoluminescent, il déplace certains électrons. Ces électrons demeurent dans le cristal, lequel sera ensuite interprété par le lecteur de DTL du Bureau de radioprotection et des instruments médicaux.
