PHOTOMICOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING GRAIN DENSITIES OF HIGHLY IONIZED PARTICLE TRACKS IN NUCLEAR EMULSIONS

Abstract

A TECHNIQUE FOR RAPID AND ACCURATE Measurement of gap lengths of nearly saturated particle tracks in nuclear emulsions is reported. The method consists of obtaining photomicrographs of particle tracks with a superimposed image of a calibrated eyepiece-micrometer disc. The gap lengths are measured to an accuracy of 1/4 micron.
