Abstract
Recent advances in instrumentation provide the capability to measure s ize, count rate, type of radiation, and the chemical composition of ra dioactive particles. We present a demonstration of these capabilities, using a laser-scanned phosphor imaging system and a charge injection device system for digital autoradiography, light and electron microsco py, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and conventional radionuclid e spectrometry. Response characteristics of the phosphor system that s upport these efforts are presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
