Summary

Description
English: "Fresh" (latent or unetched) californium-252 fission tracks[1] in a chromite (FeCr2O4) grain from the Allende meteorite, showing up in a weak-beam darkfield TEM image which lights up the strain-fields around the 40Å-diameter track-damage cores. This work confirmed chromite's ability to record nuclear particle tracks in spite of its relatively low resistivity.
