Abstract
THE observation of tracks due to fission fragments in photographic emulsions has been reported by a number of authors1,2. In the course of similar work with photographic plates, we have obtained abundant and easily recognizable fission fragment tracks in specially concentrated emulsions supplied by Ilford, Ltd. The advantages of these new emulsions for the investigation of nuclear processes have already been described3.
