Summary
Electron probe X-ray microanalysis has revealed that the autoradiographic grains obtained by high resolution electron microscopic autoradiography contain deposits of lead, silicon and chlorine in addition to silver grains. These results suggest the necessity for the confirmation of the autoradiographic grains by ancillary techniques.
