Microradiography and X-ray microscopy in geology
article
Photographs have been made of a specimen of Operculina with an X-ray projection. microscope, a light microscope and by means of microradiography. Comparison of the pictures obtained shows that, if original unsectioned specimens are examined, the two X-ray methods are superior to the light-microscope technique as regards both depth of focus and penetration power. These methods are moreover non-destructive and time saving. Results obtained also s how that for the rapid and routine investigation of microfossils or for detailed study, the microradiography and X-ray microscopy methods are, respectively, equal or superior to the light-microscope technique.
