Abstract—In Russia, the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Skobeltsyn
Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University are starting a series of pilot muon radiography exper-
iments with nuclear emulsion detectors to study the interior structure of large-scale natural and industrial
objects. As a result, the optimal conditions for experimental organization have been determined, algorithms of
data processing have been worked out, and peculiarities of the method have been ultimately investigated. Here
we present the experimental data, including field observations (in the mine of Geophysical department of Rus-
sian Academy of Sciences) confirming the availability of the method with track detectors on the base of nuclear
emulsions with uniquely high spatial resolution, providing their high-tech automated processing.
