Photograph the first

Model A cannot be eliminated definitely by the photographs there are, however, some points which make this model improbable. From the curve for this model the first minimum would be expected to be at least as well pronounced as the second minimum, whereas on the photographs the first minimum is not very well defined. That the qualitative appearance of the photographs supports model C rather than model A is further shown by the fact that the photographs resemble those of methyl nitrate more closely than those of carbon tetrafluoride. Some evidence is also provided by the radial distribution curve (Fig. 1), the first peak being displaced by 0.15 A. from the position expected for it for model A. For these reasons and the additional reason that it is difficult to correlate the tetrahedral configuration with an electronic structure involving only completed octets, we consider model A not to be satisfactory.7... 

At each stream sediment/water sample site take two photographs, the first to show general upstream topography from the lowermost subsite and the second the nature of the stream bed at the best subsite. 

Using MRI as a substitute for X ray tomography IS only the first of what are many medical applica tions More he on the horizon If for example the rate of data acquisition could be increased then it would become possible to make the leap from the equivalent of still photographs to motion pictures One could watch the inside of the body as it works— see the heart beat see the lungs expand and con tract—rather than merely examine the structure of an organ... 

The first satisfactory photographic film was produced in 1888 when gelatin-dispersed microcrystals of silver haUde were coated on celluloid sheets (23). Within a year George Eastman prepared and marketed toU films on a base produced by dissolving nitrocellulose with camphor and amyl acetate in methanol (qv). 

The manufacture of silver nitrate for the preparation of photographic emulsions requires silver of very high purity. At the Eastman Kodak Company, the principal U.S. producer of silver nitrate, 99.95% pure silver bars are dissolved in 67% nitric acid in three tanks coimected in parallel. Excess nitric acid is removed from the resulting solution, which contains 60—65% silver nitrate, and the solution is filtered. This solution is evaporated until its silver nitrate concentration is 84%. It is then cooled to prepare the first crop of crystals. The mother Hquor is purified by the addition of silver oxide and returned to the initial stages of the process. The cmde silver nitrate is centrifuged and recrystallized from hot, demineralized water. Equipment used in this process is made of ANSI 310 stainless steel (16). 

In Ancient Egypt mummies were wrapped in cloth dipped in a solution of bitumen in oil of lavender which was known variously as Syrian Asphalt or Bitumen of Judea. On exposure to light the product hardened and became insoluble. It would appear that this process involved the action of chemical cross-linking, which in modem times became of great importance in the vulcanisation of rubber and the production of thermosetting plastics. It was also the study of this process that led Niepce to produce the first permanent photograph and to the development of lithography (see Chapter 14).
