             It is proposed to use a layer of detector substance on critical areas. The
             external surface is coated with heat-conductive paint (mixed with a detector
             substance). The paint swells and changes color to indicate the location of
             refrigerant leaks, that is,

             It is necessary to measure the surface area of biological specimens, such as
             insects. (Disadvantage: Small size and complex surface relief make mea-
             surement difficult.)
