Abstract
THE increasing use of radioactive tracers in biology demands methods for quantitative recording even in tissue sections. Autoradiography furnishes one method, either by simply placing the sections containing the radio-ions towards a photographic plate1, or by covering the section itself with a film of photographic emulsion2,3. In this way α- and even βrays can be recorded4.
