A procedure was developed which prevents wrinkles in autoradiographic emulsion when sections, embedded in glycol methacrylate, are stained with hematoxylin and eosin-phloxine. Craniofacial tissues labeled with tritiated thymidine were collected and mounted on slides. Slides were dipped in emulsion, stored for one month and developed. The slides were immersed in liquefied celloidin and subsequently stained with a modified hematoxylin and eosin-phloxine procedure. Results showed that the emulsion did not wrinkle and the procedure did not effect the occurrence of labeled cells.
