A composite bolometer consists of an absorber and an attached thermometer. One has a wide choice of absorber materials; insulators, semiconductors and superconductors. Sensitive thermometers like thermistors and transition edge sensors are used for the composite bolometers. We report on our composite bolometers with neutron transmutation doped germanium thermistors for an experiment to search for hypothetical cosmic dark matter particles together with various other examples.
