Abstract
AUTORADIOGRAPHY has been employed for many years for the purpose of determining the distribution of an element in a given material. The essential requirement for the use of this method is that the element in question itself should emit a radiation which can be registered on a photographic film pressed against the surface of the sample. To make an element betray its presence in this way, one provides a certain fraction of marked atoms by adding a small amount of radioactive isotopes of the same element.
