Electron microscope fluoro-autoradiography: improvement of efficiency

The fluorographic process for enhancement of the autoradiographic detection of beta-ray emitted by tritium has been successfully adapted to electron microscope autoradiography. An original scintillator plastic film helped to increase the detection yield of electrons up to 80% without alteration of the morphological aspect of the autoradiograms, and without increasing background fog or causing apparent loss of resolution.
