The technical construction of a nuclear-track photometer which can be used for a detailed study of track structure and for the determination of the charge of low-energy, heavy particles is discussed. The essential parts of the photometer are a narrow slit and a revolving mirror system which moves the image of a track segment across the slit. The absorption profile, which is obtained in this passage, is registered either with a pen recorder or in digitalized form on paper tape. Different width parameters are discussed with regard to charge resolution. (auth)
