Abstract excerpt

Syrian golden hamster embryo (SHE) cells were exposed to synchrotron-produced monochromatic X-rays at 5.747 (2.159 keV), 5.763 (2.153 keV) and 5.779 A (2.147 keV). Although X-rays of all wavelengths induced mutations and chromatid aberrations in a dose-dependent manner, when cells were irradiated...
