A different kind of brick of film

[Monito]

In the fascinating neutrino experiment that may have detected faster than light particles, they use "bricks" of film and lead. Dead Link Removed has, it seems, 8 sheets of film. There are 150,000 bricks. That would be 1.2 million sheets of film. That's a lot of film.

I wonder, what film is it?

A google for " nuclear emulsion ", less the quotes, will get you some interesting reading.

Enjoy.
