Photometric methods in quantitation of light microscope radioautography

P Dormer

Photometric evaluation of autoradiographic grain densities can be performed according to various optical principles. In all instances the amount of light recorded should be a measure of the radioactive substance amount in the specimens. It is shown that grain densities suitable for light microscopic autoradiography are indeed linearly related to radiation exposure. Dependent on the photometric system used, there is a larger or smaller section of linear correlation of the photometric response with grain density. The advantages of incident light bright-field illumination for silver grain counting are discussed. Quantitation of substance amounts in autoradiographs depends on the use of radioactive standard sources. Two different approaches of quantitation are discussed. In 14C-autoradiography which can be applied for cell-kinetic studies, standard plates are used consisting of 14C- polymethylmethacrylate. Allowance has to be made for the different condition of radiation geometry of the cells and the standards. In 125I- autoradiography, 125I-labeled red cells are used as standards. This technique allows for quantitating the number of antibodies bound to individual cell surfaces.
