historadiography

Over recent decades researchers have generally lost interest in historadiography.

In historadiography, a slide (sometimes stained histochemically) is X-rayed.

Thorotrast has also been used in research to stain neural tissue samples for examination by historadiography.

Historadiography is a technique formerly utilized in the fields of histology and cellular biology to provide semiquantitative information regarding the density of a tissue sample.

The auto- prefix indicates that the radioactive substance is within the sample, as distinguished from the case of historadiography or microradiography, in which the sample is X-rayed using an external source.
