Abstract

An electronic device for generating contrast patterns on a display unit is described. The apparatus permits the generation of spatially periodic bright and dark stripes of 5 different spatial frequencies, any desired orientation, and drifting velocities from 0 to 16 c/sec. The pattern is shown either over the whole screen or inside a window which can be shifted to any desired position in the surrounding of equal mean luminosity. The graftings can be alternated with diffuse illumination of equal mean luminosity at repetition frequencies between 0.5 and 16 Hz, with independent control of the duration of the contrast pattern.

[The influence of the spectrum and the type of exposure on the contrast of double-sided coated x-ray film].

The present article describes the circumstances concerning the use of testing aids such as sensitometers with one-sided exposure. It is shown which phenomena must be considered if radiographic films coated on both sides are exposed with a) standard pocket sensitometers (one-sided exposure), b) lab sensitometers (double-sided exposure to ANSI Ph 2.9 [1964]), c) x-radiation in the cassette, intensifying screen and film system (to DIN 6867 T 1). The effect of the emission spectrum on the resulting contrast factor is described. The importance of different emulsion technologies (e.g. orthochromatic anticross-over films) for the contrast factor with one-sided exposure is described. The cross-over factor (c.o.), the apparent variation in sensitivity of the front and back emulsion with one-sided exposure, is the cause of the reduction in the contrast factor (G average) as against double-sided exposure: delta G(%) = c.o.2 x 10(3)/8.4

[An apparatus for automated control of exposure in microphotography using a photo flash].

The authors suggest a device for automated exposure in micro-photographing with the use of the Elektronika B5-22 flash light. This pulsed light source is optimal as regards its spectral composition. The gist of the method is as follows: the flash photographic element, built in a light-proof case, disposed on the microscope ocular, permits governing the light pulse length.
