  • 1. Instytut Przemyslu Szkla i Ceramiki, Warsaw (Poland)

Description

A technique for studying the water relations of fleshy fruits such as strawberry by measuring the beta ray penetration through the tissue is described. As a source of beta radiation, an active preparation of32P melted into a capillary glass tube was used. The technique described permits a study of the changes in the water content of fruitsin vivo.
