Abstract :
Automatic microscopes are disclosing new opportunities to the technique of nuclear emulsions as particle detectors. The system described in the present paper achieves the unprecedented scanning speed of 20 cm2/h/emulsion layer, with a measurement precision of 0.3 mum. These performances are obtained with commercial hardware and custom software joined in a fully engineered system that is already built in several replicas used in daily duty in many European laboratories
