The OPERA Scanning Laboratory at LNF

The LNF scanning laboratory is part of a network of laboratories ( Nagoya, Bari,
Bern, Bologna, LNGS Padova, Roma1, Salerno ) whose task is to analyse the OPERA emulsion data.
Neutrino interactions are localized in the brick and the decay topology is studied
at a micrometric scale to search for the occurrence of oscillated tau neutrinos interactions.
