Summary
Autoradiographic experiments are described in which low and high molecular radioactive compounds with different types of radiation are used. The effect of the following procedures on the spread of grains were studied: 1) cutting-direction, 2) diffusion of molecules at cryostate temperatures, 3) the type of radiation, 4) time lapse between dissection and freezing of the tissue.
It is suggested that the resolution with 125Iodine-labeled compounds is worse than with tritium-labeled compounds, owing to different radiation.
