    Definition of labelling

    Check what you remember

    Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain labelling in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.

    Reference: AQA

    The probe carries a radioactive phosphorus-32 tag detected on X-ray film, or a fluorescent tag visible under UV light.
