C-14 tracers have been used to visualize the dynamics of photosynthetic products in fruits, however, because the energy of the emitted beta-rays is low, visualization of the deeply distributed tracer is difficult. In this study, the feasibility of visualization using electron bremsstrahlung, an X-ray derived from C-14 sources, was experimentally verified.
