Summary
The problems of interpreting autoradiographs in which significant cross-fire occurs are considered. An analytical approach is proposed in which the tissue is ⥧odelled’ as a collection of items of uniform radioactivity. An iterative method of determining the best model is described and discussed briefly and its, advantages pointed out. They include avoidance of ’big computer’ programmes and facilitation of error computation.
