Introduction to Nuclear Latex
Nuclear latex is a special photographic latex that records the tracks of charged particles. It is thicker and denser than ordinary photographic latex, that is, contains more silver bromide, and has fine grains and uniform distribution. When charged particles pass through the nuclear latex layer, the atoms on their tracks can be ionized and form a latent image in the photographic plate. After development and fixation, the tracks of the particles can be displayed, and then measured under a microscope.
