In Situ hybridization is the technique to use when you want
to localize a specific mRNA or DNA species in tissue,
cell or chromosomes.

labeled probe such as S32 are commonly used when very high sensitivity is needed due to low copy number of
target RNA in the observed tissue.
An good alternative to isotope labeled probe
is digoxygenin labeled. The great advantage by not using radioactive
material comes with a slight lower sensitivity.
