Use of Liquid Nuclear Research Emulsion in Track Auto radiography

Nature volume 167, pages 645–646 (1951)Cite this article

Abstract

IN a recent communication, King, Harris and Tkaczyk1 described the use of liquid electron-sensitive emulsions in the autoradiography of biological specimens. We have used such emulsions for some time in investigations aiming at precise localization of radioactive isotopes in biological specimens by means of track autoradiography. In this communication we present some aspects of the technique which may be of interest to workers in this field.
