Biology & Biotechnology | A method for measuring wood density by X-raying laths cut out from increment cores or stem discs together with a calibration wedge on a film. The optical density of the film is then measured with a microdensitometer, transformed mathematically into wood density, and plotted as a function of time. Source: European Union. (references) |
