Absorption microphotometry of irregular-shaped objects

  • Published:
Chromosoma Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A new microphotometric method (mainly for the evaluation of microchemical color reactions) which uses measurements at two wave lengths (developed byOrnstein and, independently, by the author) is presented in a form which greatly reduces the computational labor (for an illustration, see Table 3).
