The use of radioisotopes in histologic studies is discussed, with particular emphasis on the nuclear reactions involved and the type of radiation emitted by various isotopes. Experimental applications and advantages, type of emission, and half-life times are given for H/sup 3/, Ct/sup 4/, Na/sup 24/, P/ sup 32/, S/sup 35/, Ca/sup 45/, Cr/sup 51/, Fe/sup 59/, Co/sup 60/, Zn/sup 65/ , As/sup 74/, Sr/sup 89/, Y/supl 90/, I/sup 131/, Ta/sup 182/,Ir/sup 192/,Au/sup 198/, Tl/sup 204/, Ra/sup 226/,Th/sup 232/ and U/sup 238// Autoradiographic methods are considered including those involving apposition, liquid emulsion, stripping-film, and inversion techniques. Ways for evaluating grain patterns and single tracks for alpha and beta particles and gamma rays are also discussed. (H.H.D.)
