title: An improved procedure for background correction in autoradiography.
abstract: In the event of weak autoradiographic labelling, the proportion of truly labelled cells or structures can be calculated from the frequency distributions of grains per area or cell structure for i = 0, 1,..., n grains using the results obtained for an experimental group after the application of a radioactively labelled substance and those obtained for a control group without radioactivity. The principle of this computer-aided method is also applicable when the grain counts are related to varying areas in histological sections.
