THE SCIENTIFIC MONT'HLY v
X4NoUNc/NvG... Eastman High-Resolution
Plate
T O TIlE SERIES of Eastman plates for special scientific purposes is now added the Eastman Iligh-Resolution
Plate. It has the extraordinarily high resolving power of more than 500 lines per millimeter a value far greater than is attained by any normal photographic lens. It has high maximumn density and good sharpness, and is very clean- working. The speed is naturally low-approximately that of contact printing paper.
The new Eastman High-Resolution Plate is regularly fur- nished with orthochromatic (G-type) sensitizing and anti- halation backing; however, other sensitizings may be ob- tained on. special order. The plate is suitable for making graticules and for most purposes where the requirement is to resol-ve a fine structure of sharp, dense lines. Further information will be forwarded promptly upon request.
