Resolution in electron microscope radioautography. II. Carbon 14

J Cell Biol. 1971 Aug;50(2):324-32. doi: 10.1083/jcb.50.2.324.

Abstract

Experimental resolution values, half distances (HD), were determined for electron microscope radioautography with (14)C 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.
