Research Abstract

Nuclear Emulsion is a three-dimensional radiation detector, which can record high energy charged particles and ions at sub-micron resolutions. We have developed an ultra-fast readout system, which consists of ultra-wide field objective, GPU based computing and quick microscope stage, to analyze large amount of nuclear emulsion plates in the field of particle physics and radiography. This allows a hundred times faster analysis speed compares to a current system.
