Description:
An effective method for greatly reducing the electron exposure of radiation-sensitive organic or biological specimens while recording their diffraction patterns in a high-voltage (MeV range) electron microscope is described. It involves recording on double-coated screen-type medical X-ray film and backing it with a luminescent radiographic screen which intercepts the transmitted electrons and emits visible light that exposes the bottom emulsion of the film. Values of sensitivity, resolution, and enhancement ratio are tabulated: the latter values range up to 41. Typical patterns taken with l-valine are shown.
