- Abstract
- Sensitometric procedures for modern multilayer reversible color films are much more exacting than those for black-and-white films. The tolerances for exposing and processing these materials are smaller and the analysis of the results is more difficult. The problem of evaluating the processed sensitometric strips in terms of the color densities of each step has been facilitated by the construction of a specialized form of a direct-reading densitometer. An electron multiplier phototube, coupled to the grid of a logarithmically responsive triode, furnished the extreme sensitivity necessary to read high color densities with satisfactory spectral purity.
