AbstraktAbstract
We demonstrate advantages of technique called "Micro-radiography", still not generally used in soil zoological research. This method provides great and almost new way to study structure of organisms living in soil as well as various materials from soil. The roentgen transmission radiography is based on the attenuation of X-rays in matter. The X-ray is partly absorbed by scanned sample and the rest of it is detected by suitable detector. When attenuation of radiation is not equal, outgoing radiation has different intensity and contains latent screen information of scanned sample. Soft tissues do not attenuate X-rays a lot, so the difference between them can be hardly distinguished.
