SUMMARY The fluorographic process for enhancement of the autoradiographic detection of β‐ray emitted by tritium has been successfully adapted to electron microscope autoradiography. An original scintillator plastic film helped to increase the detection yield of electrons up to 80% without alteration of the morphological aspect of the autoradiograms, and without increasing background fog or causing apparent loss of resolution.
