The correlation between the number of developed silver grains in an autoradiographic emulsion and the concentration of tritium atoms in the underlying cells was studied in tissue sections labeled in vivo with tritiated thymidine. The results indicate that, in a tissue section 3 mu thick, from 100 to 200 disintegrations of tritium atoms are required to render developable 1 silver grain in the emulsion overlying the labeled locus.
