Threshold modulation curves for photographic films
Abstract:
This paper describes studies of the threshold modulation curve for photographic film. The threshold modulation curve is an empirically derived relation showing the need at any spatial frequency for modulation in the aerial image of a tribar for resolution to be achieved. The paper deals with the history, raison d'être, theory, method of measurement, and accuracy and precision of the threshold modulation curve. The statistical aspects of the threshold modulation curve are emphasized, and the influence of factors that cause variations in the curve are examined. Examples are given of current and potential applications of the threshold modulation curve.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...
Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
