Abstract

alpha autoradiography

CR-39

male house rats

microtome sections

Nuclear track detector

A technique is described by which the distribution of radionuclei in histological sections of kidney and liver of male rats are visualised by nuclear track recording plastic. The particles emitted from radionuclei contained within the section are registered as tracks in CR-39. An image of tissue structure is induced superimposed upon particle track distribution by autoradiography. The uranyl acetate was injected intraperitonially into rats with activity 609 Bq. The detection efficiency of CR-39 for α-particles emitted from the prepared solution of uranyl acetate was found to be 0.085. The concentration of α-activity in the ashed samples was found in kidney more than that in liver.
