Autoradiography

A technique using photography to detect radioactively-labeled molecules. By placing molecular material on a piece of film, suspending movement, and exposing the film, scientists can detect the exposed molecules visually. The technique was used by Dr. Fu Kuen Lin to isolate the human gene for erythropoietin.
