Domain	Definition
Medicine	A technique in which an image of a radioactive specimen is obtained using a photographic or X-ray-sensitive emulsion. The emulsion is carried on a film or plate or, for microautoradiography, used to coat the sample directly. Ionizing radiation, emitted by radioactive compounds used as markers or labels, results in the production of image grains which are fixed using normal photographic developers. Source: European Union.

Photo Album: Autoradiography

Thumbnail	Description & Credit
	A scientist is instructing a highschool student in the procedure of "southern blotting". Single strands of DNA are transferred onto a nitrocellulose filter, exposed to a radioactive labelled probe, which then sticks, or hybridizes, to a specific DNA sequence. These hybridized sequences will then give off a radioactive signal that can be visualized by exposing the filter to x-ray film, a procedure known as autoradiography.
