Photographic emulsions excel other nnclear detectors ad dosimeters in their reliability, small size, zero dead-time, and capacity for storing the details of rapid nuclear processes. Their chief disadvantage is the slow and tedious analysis required for the evaluation of microscopic tracks. Since the first Geneva Corference several novel instruments have been developed to scan emulsions automatically and give a rapid count of tracks. This paper will review the design and performance of these instruments and discuss the prospects of increasing their capacity to analyze more complex problems than track counting. (auth)
