Abstract
The application of the confocal scanning microscope to the objects in the nuclear photoemulsion is described. An array of 27 microtomograms of single silver grain is shown. The cross sections of the same particle track of diameter 1 μm, detected by means of the confocal scanning microscope with open and annular apertures, are presented. It was shown that the confocal scanning microscope opens, indeed, new opportunities for the nuclear photoemulsion technique to get previously inaccessible information for the physics of the short-lived particles.
