Abstract

Experimental resolution values, half distances (HD), were determined for electron microscope radioautography with 14C as the source of radioactivity. These were about a factor of 1.5–2 times higher than for tritium. Grain distributions normalized in units of HD were found to fit the "universal" curves previously obtained for tritium.
