Abstract: One of the modern approaches to solving research and practical problems by studying internal structure of large natural and industrial objects on the base of muon radiography (muography) is presented. Muon is an unstable particle, but due to the relativistic time dilation effect, cosmic-origin muons with energies up to hundreds of TeV travel considerable distances before decaying. 7 Muon fluxes registered by emulsion detectors (arrows) added to 3D building model. In total, five emulsion detectors were used in this experiment, four of which were directed to the walls at an angle of 45, and one was directed upwards to measure the vertical muon flux.
