The degenerative changes in the midgut of the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum DuVal., are positively correlated with both dose and time elapsed after irradiation exposure. The most important were vacuolization of the epithelial cells, or fading of all boundaries in the epithelium. A pathological syndrome of irradiation effects on the midgut may be used for a rapid and efficient method of identification of irradiated insects
