The TLX-02 is a precision experimental setup designed to study the thermoluminescence properties of F-centres in alkali halide crystals (typically NaCl). F-centres, or color centers, are electron traps formed due to lattice defects. When these centers are irradiated and subsequently heated, they release energy in the form of visible light—thermoluminescence.

This unit provides controlled heating, irradiation (optional), and light detection mechanisms, enabling the plotting of glow curves and studying trap depth, energy levels, and recombination processes. It is widely used in material science, radiation physics, and solid-state physics labs.
