    Main Methods:

    • Monolayers and double layers of Ilford L4 emulsion were prepared.
    • Various developing procedures were tested.
    • The dependence of sensitivity on radiation dose was investigated.

    Main Results:

    • Sensitivity values for Ilford L4 emulsion to 45Ca were established for different emulsion configurations and developing methods.
    • The relationship between radiation dose and sensitivity was quantified.
    • Comparative analysis with other isotopes was performed.

    Conclusions:

    • The sensitivity of Ilford L4 emulsion to 45Ca has been successfully determined for electron microscope autoradiography.
    • This data aids in the quantitative analysis of 45Ca distribution.
    • The findings facilitate cross-calibration with other radioisotopes in autoradiographic studies.
