Microscopic response of radiation on imaging plates.
The microscopic response of alpha particles on an imaging plate was studied experimentally. It is proved that a single alpha event can be discriminated from background signals and be recorded on the imaging plate. The spatial resolution of the dose distribution was found to be 43 +/- 2 microns when alpha particles were injected perpendicularly. The observed output signals are well described by the deposited energy.
