1913 P. Goby in Jrnl. Royal Microsc. Soc. 373 The new method of employment of X-rays, which I have the honour of introducing to you under the name of Microradiography, aims at rendering easily visible the internal structure of microscopic objects.

1944 Jrnl. Appl. Physics 15 44/1 The early work on microradiography was confined chiefly to light alloys and made use of low voltage, long wave-length radiation.

1966 D. G. Brandon Mod. Techniques Metallogr. 76 The two major advantages offered by microradiography as opposed to ordinary optical metallography are, firstly, the sensitivity to chemical composition and, secondly, the ability of the technique to integrate over a large volume of material.

1973 Calcified Tissue Res. 11 176 This work investigated the effect of fluoride on the mineralization of rat dentine using tetracycline-labelling and microradiography.

1991 Sci. Amer. Feb. 42/2 The X rays that passed through the specimen exposed the film, and the resulting image could then be examined with a light microscope. This form of X-ray microscopy, known as contact microradiography, is still in use today.
