title: Neutron Activation Analysis for Phosphorus in a Study of Development in a Beetle Wing.
abstract: Neutron activation analysis was used to measure phosphorus in individual beetle wings during pupal and early adult stages. By counting neutroninduced P(32) radioactivity it was possible to measure 0.005 +/- 0.001, microg of phosphorus. The phosphorus content of the wings rises to maximum at eclosion and subsequently decreases with loss of cells.
