It is usually clipped to a person's clothing and worn to measure one's actual exposure to radiation.

Famous quotes containing the word fiber:
“I am an invisible man.... I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.”
—Ralph Ellison (b. 1914)
