Description
The nuclear emulsion is a charged particle detector with submicron spatial resolution based on the principles of silver halide photography. Nagoya University’s nuclear emulsion film production facility produces 1,500 square meters of film annually, which is used in ongoing experiments such as neutrino interaction measurements and cosmic gamma ray observations. After each experiment, all films must be scanned with an optical microscope system to read out the tracks. The poster will introduce the latest system HTS-2, which is capable of scanning 1000 square meters of film per year.
