The nuclear periphery was studied by using antiprotons. Two experimental methods were applied: analysis of the antiproton annihilation residues one mass unit lighter than the target mass by nuclear spectroscopy and the measurement of strong interaction effects on antiprotonic level widths and shifts. Assuming densities in the form of a two-parameter Fermi distribution neutron densities and differences of root mean square radii of neutron and proton distributions were determined for 26 isotopes (for a wide mass range: 40<A<238).
