A technique using X- ray film to visualize molecules or fragments of molecules that have been radioactively labeled. Autoradiography has many applications in the laboratory. Autoradiography can, for example, be used to analyze the length and number of DNA fragments after they are separated from one another by a method called gel electrophoresis.

Method for visualizing DNA or RNA molecules labeled with radioactive substances. A piece of X-ray film is placed on top of a slide, gel, or other substance that contains DNA labeled with radioactive c [..]

It detects radioactively labeled molecules by their effect in creating an image on photographic film.

refers to a histological technique that reveals the distribution of radioactive chemicals in tissues or in analytical substances, such as electrophoretic plates.

  A technique that captures the image formed in a photographic emulsion as a result of the emission of either light or radioactivity from a labelled component that is placed next to unexposed film. Th [..]

A histological technique that shows the distribution of radioactive chemicals in tissues. See Boxes 2.1, 5.1.

The technique of exposing film in the presence of disintegrating radioactive particles. Used to obtain information on the distribution of radioactivity in a gel or a thin cell section.

(French : autoradiographie) A technique that uses X- ray film to visualize radioactively labelled molecules or fragments of molecules; used in analyzing length and number of DNA fragments after they a [..]

(n) producing a radiograph by means of the radiation emitted from the specimen being photographed

Technique for visualizing radioactive molecules in a sample (e.g., a tissue section or electrophoretic gel) by exposing a photographic film or emulsion to the sample. The exposed film is called an aut [..]

The making of a radiograph of an object or Tissue by recording on a photographic plate the Radiation emitted by radioactive material within the object. (Dorland, 27th ed)

The making of a radiograph of an object or tissue by recording on a photographic plate the radiation emitted by radioactive material within the object. (Dorland, 27th ed)

A technique that uses x-ray film to detect radiolabeled molecules following separation by gel electophoresis. Recently autoradiographs have been supplanted by nonradioactive methods based on the detection of chemiluminescence.

A process by which radioactive materials, often though not exclusively incorporated into cell structures, are located by exposure to a photographic emulsion forming a pattern on the film corresponding [..]

The detection of a unstable isotope that emits radiation by a photographic emulsion. In the case of in situ hybridization, this involves dipping microscope slides in liquid emulsion. In the case of Southern blots, Northern blots, or Western blots, the membrane is placed next to a sheet of X-ray film.
