A Scintillating Fiber Imager (SFI) has been developed for Restriction Landm
ark Genomic Scanning (RLGS) technology. Test measurements have been carried
out with genomic linkage map labeled with P-32 (P-ray emitter) and Ni-58 b
eam at 90 MeV/nucleon as well. The system offers real time acquisition and
an easy quantification of RLGS data compared to film-based autoradiography,
and it is proved to be a powerful position sensitive detector for measurem
ents in nuclear physics.
