Abstract
A simple apparatus for the production of contact microradiographs with the help of a polonium alpha source and nuclear emulsion plates is described. This apparatus best adapted for soft tissue and low grade mineralization studies offers advantages as to resolution, geometry of specimen as well as ease of operation and cost.
