<p>A two- and three-dimensional autoradiographical imaging system (10) is provided which includes a charge coupled device (1) for detecting the emission of radioactively labeled substances from materials such as tissue samples (7), brains of humans or animals, or substances used in electrophoresis applications. In a first aspect, a radioactively labeled substance is included in a tissue sample. The tissue sample (7) is sequentially imaged by a charge coupled device (1) and a sectioning tool such as microtome (3) to produce a plurality of two-dimensional images. A three-dimensional image of the tissue sample is generated by further processing of the plurality of two-dimensional images derived from the charge coupled device.</p> |
