<p>There is described apparatus and method for detecting irradiated samples, for example foodstuffs, using photostimulated luminescence. The extent of irradiation is detected by subjecting the sample to a pulsed stimulation source which causes luminescence to be emitted from the irradiated sample. Means are provided for measuring the emitted luminescence which corresponds to the extent of irradiation. Apparatus for putting this method into practice is also disclosed.</p> |
