Definition
An instrument that records or measures the intensity of radiation, especially ultraviolet or X-rays, often by detecting their effects on a sensitive photographic plate or electronic sensor.
Etymology
From actino- (Greek aktis, 'ray') + graph (from Greek graphein, 'to write' or 'to record'). Developed in the late 19th century to systematically measure and document radiation intensity.
Kelly Says
Early actinographs were simple but brilliant—scientists used them to measure how strong the sun's ultraviolet rays were at different altitudes, discovering that the atmosphere shields us from dangerous radiation, which informed everything from ozone hole research to sunscreen development.
