iss049e045458 (10/24/2016) --- Photographic documentation of Radiation Area Monitor (RAM) deployed in the Quest Airlock of the International Space Station (ISS). The Radiation Area Monitor (RAM) is a small set of thermoluminescent detectors encased in Lexan plastic that respond to radiation; the amount of radiation they absorb can be revealed by applying heat and measuring the amount of visible light released.
