Abstract
An improved bubble method was developed for applying an ultrathin layer of nuclear track emulsion on the surface of cells labeled with I^125^‐MSH. The autoradiographs of I^125^‐MSH binding indicate a nonrandom distribution of receptors on the surface of mouse melanoma cells. It is suggested that MSH receptors are displayed in clusters previous to an independently of their exposure to the hormone.
