The sensitivity of the chick embryo to radiation was investigated. Various degree of abnormalities from discontinuities of the outer nuclear layer to severe rosette formations were observed. and the dose-effect relationship in different irradiation stages were investigated. It was concluded that the most sensitive stage is 6-day old embryo, and it's minimal effective dose is 350 r. It was observed also that the situation of retinal anomaly in the eye globe depends on the embryonic stages irradiated. (auth)
