Autoradiographic process
First Claim
1. An autoradiographic process for obtaining locational information on radioactively labeled substances contained in a sample selected from the group consisting of tissue of an organism and a medium containing tissue of an organism and/or substances originating from an organism,which comprises:
- placing said sample and a stimulable phosphor sheet having a phosphor layer comprising a stimulable phosphor dispersed in a binder together in a layer at 10°
-35°
C. for a certain period of time to cause said phosphor sheet to absorb at least a portion of radiation energy emitted by the radioactively labeled substances in said sample;
scanning said phosphor sheet with visible light or infrared rays to release at least a portion of said radiation energy stored in said phosphor sheet as stimulated emission; and
detecting the stimulated emission to obtain one or two dimensional information on the location of radioactively labeled substances in the sample.

Abstract
An autoradiographic process for obtaining information on one or two dimensional location of radioactively labeled substances contained in a sample selected from the group consisting of tissue of an organism and a medium containing tissue of an organism and/or substances such as DNA originating from an organism,
which comprises:
placing said sample and a stimulable phosphor sheet having a phosphor layer comprising a stimulable phosphor dispersed in a binder together in layers for a certain period to cause said phosphor sheet to absorb at least a portion of radiation energy emitted by the radioactively labeled substances in said sample;
scanning said phosphor sheet with an electromagnetic wave to release at least a portion of radiation energy stored in said phosphor sheet as stimulated emission; and
detecting the stimulated emission to obtain locational information on the radioactively labeled substances in the sample.
