A new approach to the problem of personal UV biodosimeter is described. Nematic liquid crystal (LC-805) is converted into induced cholesteric phase using photosensitive chiral dopant of steroid biomolecules (7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) or 7-DHC-benzoate). Significant changes in optical char...
