Effects of Different Ionizing Radiations on Human Cells in Tissue Culture: I. Irradiation Techniques and Dosimetry

Abstract
The apparatus and dosimetry are described for irradiation of mammalian cells in tissue culture by [alpha]-, [beta]-, and X-radiation. A description is given of a special culture dish with a bottom of Melinex 0.85 mg/cm2 thick, which permitted irradiation of cells from outside the dish with a-radiation from Po210 and [beta]-radiation from Sr90 + y90. Two types of ionization chambers and an extrapolation chamber were intercom-pared for the different radiations.
