Structural Differences in Bone Matrix Associated with Metabolized Radium

Abstract

The paper describes a method for the sectioning of bones to be used for the examination of metabolized radium. The bone to be sectioned was embedded in bioplastic. Furthermore a special autographic method was developed, which permitted exact registry to be retained between the alpha-particle track image of the radium distribution and the alpha-particle sources in the bone section. Numerous microphotographs illustrate the potentialities of this method.
