ENERGY-RECORDING MICRODENSITOMETER

Abstract

An inverse densitometric circuit is described which employs the technique of voltage transfer curve translation to provide a direct linear measure of photographic energy profiles. An antilog D scale (reciprocal transmittance scale) linear to + or - 0.05 antilog D units over a basic antilog D range of 12 is obtained. Neutral-density filters are used to compound the basic sensitivity increment and obtain a total light level range in excess of 1 to 1000. An optical system which provides an insrument resolving power of 500 lines/mm is described. (Athor)
