Gel dosimetry – a laser based 3D scanner for gel samples – research in India — •Johannes Widmer1,2, Senthil Kumar Dhiviyaraj Kalaiselven2,3, and Jebaseelan Samuel James2 — 1Institut für Angewandte Photophysik, TU Dresden, Germany — 2Photonics Division, VIT University, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India — 3Department of Therapeutic Radiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
A laser based 3D scanner is developed to take tomography images of partly transparent samples. The scanner is optimized to characterize gel samples from spatially resolved dosimetry measurements. The resulting device should be suitably designed to be constructed in India. This gave me valuable insight into the scientific and technological environment of the country and made me find my way through a quite different culture of research and commerce, within and beyond the scientific context of the university. The project was implemented during a nine months stay at the Vellore Institute of Technology University in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, in co-operation with the Christian Medical College, Vellore, in 2006/07. It was conducted within the framework of existing research activities of the host university.
