A universal film badge that indicates x ray dose with a single reading was developed. The badge can also be used for gamma rays. The badge contains two differential films. One film is shielded on both sides by 2 mm of tin, while the other is directly exposed. If appropriate films are used, there is a linear combination of their densities that is practically constant for equal radiation doses of different spectra. Response to x and gamma rays of energies between 0.03 and 1.25 Mev is linear to within 20% thus eliminating the need for film cali
