Abstract

A device for scanning large areas of Kimfol fission track detectors is described. It is being used in photofission experiments where ∼ 10 4 cm 2 of film per run have to handled. The tracks are first enlarged by etching and sparking. The film is then scanned by a high resolution Vidicon camera and the x and y coordinates of each track are stored in a computer. A typical scanning speed is 10 cm 2/s. The counting efficiency is close to 100%.
