Abstract (en)

An aerosol-generating device (1) comprises a chamber (2) designed to accommodate an aerosol precursor material, and also comprises a radioluminescence light source (4) arranged for emitting visible light inside the chamber. The radioluminescence light source facilitates visual inspection of the inside of the chamber, in particular for detecting dirt therein. The radioluminescence light source provides safety with respect to a heater (3) dedicated to heating the aerosol precursor material, and does not consume electrical power from a battery of the aerosol-generating device.
