Abstract
The Emulsion Cloud Chamber (ECC) has played important role for the cosmic-ray research. The Micro Segment Chamber (MSC) is a new generation detector evolved from the ECC, which has maximized and extended advantages of ECCs as well as overcome difficulties in the analysis of the events that occur inside the detector. The essential parts of MSC and its application to a balloon experiment for cosmic-ray electron observations are described.
