A method for measuring diffusion coefficients in liquids is described. The diffusing substance S is radioactively tagged. At time zero it is concentrated at the bottom of a vessel containing the diffusion medium M. During the experiment it moves through M by diffusion towards a G EIGER ‐M ÜLLER tube. From the total number of counts registered as a function of time a time lag L is determined which is characteristic for the experiment. The value of the diffusion coefficient D is calculated from L and from the thickness d of M. For tristearin in triolein we find (with a confidence level of 95%) D = (7,57 ± 0,83)·10 −8 cm 2 /sec.
