Nuclear emulsion plates record tracks of charged particles with sub-micron accuracy. The development of fully automatized scanning systems during the last two decades has made possible the use of large mass nuclear emulsion devices. The European Scanning System (ESS), developed in the framework of an R&D project for the Opera experiment, is able to scan emulsions with a 20 cm2/h speed. This speed is one order of magnitude faster than in past systems. We have measured for this system a tracking efficiency above 85% over the angular range [0,600] mrad for minimum ionizing particle crossing 43 micron thick emulsion layers. Correspondingly we have measured an instrumental background of the order of 1 track/cm2 over the above mentioned angular range.
