| style="height:20px; width:500px; text-align:center;" |[[Beta Particle|Beta particles]] can be used to detect the thickness of a [[material]]. The thicker the [[material]] the less [[Beta Particle|Beta particles]] will make it to the detector.
When manufacturing sheets of [[material]] a [[Beta Particle|beta]] source and detector can be used to control the separation of a pair of rollers. When the [[material]] becomes too thick the rollers move closer together, squashing the [[material]]. When the [[material]] becomes to thin the rollers move further apart to squash the [[material]] less.
