What is inside the white box?

The white box houses a batch of 5 thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). It can be found at monitoring sites of the TLD network maintained by the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO). It is used for measurement of ambient gamma radiation level as part of the Observatory's Environmental Radiation Monitoring Programme (ERMP).
