The nature of the luminescent chamber as a tool in high-energy physics research is discussed, and problems and their solution in constructing such a chamber are outlined. Characteristics of solid and filament scintillators, photographic film, and available image intensifier tubes are presented. Particular attention is given to regenerative light amplification and its application to track viewing. Image tubes under development and other possible systems are outlined. It is concluded that the luminescent chamber should soon become a practical, useful instrument.
