Abstract
A user evaluation has been made by electron microscopists of an X‐ray film for routine electron microscopy. The recent improvements in mammographic X‐ray films, with the attempt to reduce the patient dose required to produce a high‐resolution mammogram, have resulted in some useful films for medium‐ and high‐voltage electron microscopy. They can yield essential cytological information with a reduction of the electron fluence (exposure) applied to the specimen of more than an order of magnitude compared with conventional electron‐microscope films. Their use is indicated in situations where beam damage is severe.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
