Abstract

A microscope stage has been designed to facilitate the scanning of nuclear emulsions. The technique is based on the use of a scanning beam of light oblique to the direction of motion of the stage, permitting the whole depth of the emulsion to be viewed in a single field. The time required for scanning in a given area is reduced by a factor of two to three, compared with the standard area scanning technique, without appreciable loss of efficiency. A second stage, composed of a standard low-noise stage with an upper, rotating stage of variable tilt, is also described. The use of this compound stage greatly facilitates the analysis of events with steep tracks.
