Xenon Electronic Flash Sensitometer

An electronic xenon-flashlamp sensitometer is described for use in black-and-white or color process control. It is an intensity-scale instrument with three different exposure durations. The longest exposure, 1/100 sec, is useful for normal picture-taking control. The two other durations of 1/1000 and 1/10,000 sec allow the laboratory technicians to study film and development characteristics falling in the range of high-speed photography. Color of the light approximates daylight quality without the use of filters and the quantity of light is remarkably constant.
