Abstract
IN an earlier communication1 reference was made to the possibility of using track radiography as a means of detecting and estimating the content of radioactive isotopes in biological specimens. Since that note was published, further work using a new ‘liquid-emulsion’ technique has brought us nearer the goal of successful quantitative estimations. The experimental technique employed was briefly as follows.
