pubmed-article:1809335 | pubmed:abstractText | We present a high-speed, high-resolution beta imager developed to replace autoradiographic films currently used in molecular biology experiments. It allows the user to locate and make quantitative analyses of 32P-labeled molecules on a 25.6 x 25.6-cm flat surface. Combining new techniques--scintillating optical fibers and multianode photomultipliers--this fast imager offers several advantages when compared with recent gas detectors and flexibility for further improvements. Several biological applications will be discussed. | lld:pubmed |
