Photography

Direct photography is a simple and effective technique for the study of flowing and static granular systems. Because of the opaque nature of dry granular materials, direct photography can only be used for imaging 2D systems or the surface of 3D 

For periodic flow especially in vibrated systems, stroboscopic images are useful [6-10,12,13,34,66,146,147,201-204]. Stroboscopic imaging is especially useful when the images can be phase synchronized as well [6-10,34,66,201-204]. With phase synchronization, the frequency of the strobe is locked to a phase reference, which can be adjusted to view the motion at any phase relative to the reference. 

Land [388, 409] has developed the diffusion transfer process a stage further, so that it can be used nowadays for normal photography. This involves a type of camera with which exposure and development can be carried out within seconds. Film material has also been introduced which, in speed and performance, can compete with the emulsion types in conventional photography. In this polaroid photography as it is now termed, roll film or film pack can be changed without trouble in daylight. 

Conventional photography is still the best process for obtaining the most faithful possible reproduction of a thin-layer chromatogram. This is ensured by the large choice of emulsion types for half tone reproduction and the fact that as many positives and in varied sizes as desired, can be made from the negative. Colour reproduction as picture or transparency, is also possible daylight or UV-hght can be used as source. 

Photographing of the stained and dried agar films of the macrotechnique is quite possible by contact printing. 

The glass with the agar film under it is laid on a sheet of ortho-chromatic paper (Agfa Brovira, hard, white, glossy). 

The agar plate is exposed for 2-4 sec at a distance of 24 cm from a small Phillips 15-watt lamp. 

It is washed, and fixed with Kodak acid quick-fixing salt for 10 minutes. 

Parallel with the technical improvement and analytical refinement of measurements grows the difficulty of the interpretation of results. Whereas the identification of the 4-5 peaks achieved with free electrophoresis of a normal serum was comparatively simple, the more complex 

TABLE 19.9 The Enthalpies and Entropies of Hydration for the Halide Ions 

What energy terms are important in determining AH° for the dissociation of HX in water (Keep in mind that large, positive contributions to the value of AH° will tend to make AG° more highly positive, K3 smaller, and the acid weaker.) One important factor is certainly the H—X bond strength. Note from Table 19.8 that the H—F bond is much stronger than the other H—X bonds. This factor tends to make HF a weaker acid than the others. 

Another important contribution to AH° is the enthalpy of hydration (see Section 17.2) of X- (see Table 19.9). As we would expect, the smallest of the halide ions, F, has the most negative value—its hydration is the most exothermic. This term favors the dissociation of HF into its ions, more so than it does for the other HX molecules. 

So far we have two conflicting factors The large HF bond energy tends to make HF a weaker acid than the other hydrogen halides, but the enthalpy 

Hydration becomes more exothermic as the charge density of an ion increases. Thus for ions of a given charge the smallest is most strongly hydrated. 

Before such sensitivity improvements, high energy illumination was requited to give enough exposure intensity. 

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).

Mention could be made of many debts to photography, including the discovery of radioactivity, which was directly due to the sensitiveness of the photographic plate, the discovery of stars too faint to be observed by the most powerful telescopes, the invention of photo-mechanical processes employed iu illustrating books and journals, photomicrography and its numerous applications, and the cinematograph, apart from its everyday uses in peace and war. 

It has long been known that certain substances, when illuminated, undergo permanent visible changes. In the early part of the nineteenth century, these materials were sometimes used to make photogenic drawings, for exam-

When a photon is absorbed by a silver halide grain, an electron is ejected from a halide ion and temporarily held at some site in the crystal. A silver ion can migrate to the site and combine with the electron to form a silver atom. The atom is not stable it can decompose back into a silver ion and a free electron. However, during its lifetime, the atom can trap a second electron if one becomes available. If this second electron remains trapped until the arrival of a second silver ion, a two-atom cluster forms. This buildup of a silver cluster can continue as long as photoelectrons are available. The smallest cluster corresponding to a stable latent image speck is believed to consist of three or four silver atoms. Specks of this size or greater on the crystal surface can catalyze the subsequent action of a developer. 

A common, well-estabhshed procedure for making photographic prints is as follows  

Exposure of the sensitive material, usually a gelatin emulsion of silver halides on a cellulose acetate film, in the camera. 

Perhaps the simplest use of colloidal silica in this area is its use to firictionize and coat the film base material to both make it easier to be conveyed through the process and also to prevent it from blocking or adhering to itself when rolled up. The use of colloidal silica as an anti-blocking agent is discussed above under the Surface Modification of plastic films. 

This may not be the place to deal with the various photographic emulsions. Moreover, infrared, black-and-white or color films do not deserve special explanations. We should remember, however, that the power of infrared-sensitive emulsions does not, practically speaking, extend beyond 0.9 jum. It is not advisable to expose infrared film without a filter, as in this case, results are far superior with normal black-and-white or color panchromatic films. 

Let us take the case of infrared color film. On the plates, the healthy vegetation shows up red, but objects with the same shade of green as neighboring plants appear to be blue, whence the name photo-camouflage given to this simple technique during the Second World War. 

Since satellites are being pushed somewhat into the background of this chapter, we will confine this discussion to the spectral bands used by the Gemini and Apollo 

We already know that the blue band is always eliminated when aerial or satellite photographs are taken from high altitudes. This does not apply on the ground, where scattering is negligible due to the lesser amount of atmosphere between the camera and the object photographed. 

On most of the Apollo satellites, not including Apollo 9, the following spectrum

It is used for hair dyeing, as a rubber accelerator and as a photographic developer. Derivatives are extensively used as developers in colour photography. 

It reacts chemically as if it were either 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene or the triketone of hexa-hydrobenzene. The trialkyl derivative of the hydroxy-form or the trioxime of the keto-form can be obtained from phloroglucinol by reacting in a suitable manner. In certain cases derivatives of the two forms are interchangeable. Used in printing, photography, adhesives, pharmaceuticals.

Na COj and Na2S with SO2 or from Na2S03 plus sulphur. Forms many hydrates. Used-in photography ( hypo ) because it dissolves silver halides. Also used in tanning, preparation of mordants, as a fermentation preventative in dyeing and in chemical manufacture. 

X-rays find wide applications in X-ray photography and in crystallography. Prolonged exposure of the human body to the rays induces a dangerous form of dermatitis, and even sterility, but controlled exposures are applied to alleviate cancer.

Studies of surfaces and surface properties can be traced to the early 1800s [1]. Processes that involved surfaces and surface chemistry, such as heterogeneous catalysis and Daguerre photography, were first discovered at that time. Since then, there has been a continual interest in catalysis, corrosion and other chemical reactions that involve surfaces. The modem era of surface science began in the late 1950s, when instmmentation that could be used to investigate surface processes on the molecular level started to become available.

Many experimental techniques now provide details of dynamical events on short timescales. Time-dependent theory, such as END, offer the capabilities to obtain information about the details of the transition from initial-to-final states in reactive processes. The assumptions of time-dependent perturbation theory coupled with Fermi s Golden Rule, namely, that there are well-defined (unperturbed) initial and final states and that these are occupied for times, which are long compared to the transition time, no longer necessarily apply. Therefore, truly dynamical methods become very appealing and the results from such theoretical methods can be shown as movies or time lapse photography. 

Hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution has many uses, because the products from its reaction are either water or oxygen, which are generally innocuous. The chief use is bleaching of textiles, both natural and synthetic, and of wood pulp for paper. Other uses are the oxidation of dyestuffs, in photography and in the production of... 

The reducing action of sulphurous acid and sulphites in solution leads to their use as mild bleaching agents (for example magenta and some natural dyes, such as indigo, and the yellow dye in wool and straw are bleached). They are also used as a preservative for fruit and other foodstuffs for this reason. Other uses are to remove chlorine from fabrics after bleaching and in photography. 

It is used as the fixer in photography under the name hypo . 

All the silver halides are sensitive to light, decomposing eventually to silver. In sunlight, silver chloride turns first violet and finally black. The use of these compounds in photography depends on this (see below). (All silver salts are, in fact, photosensitive—the neck of a silver nitrate bottle is black owing to a deposit of silver.)... 

It was known in the sixteenth century that silver salts were photosensitive, but it was not until the beginning of the nineteenth century, when Herschel found that silver chloride was soluble in sodium thiosulphate, that photography became possible. 

Bromine is used in making fumigants, flameproofing agents, water purification compounds, dyes, medicinals, sanitizers, inorganic bromides for photography, etc. Organic bromides are also important. 

Krypton clathrates have been prepared with hydroquinone and phenol. 85Kr has found recent application in chemical analysis. By imbedding the isotope in various solids, kryptonates are formed. The activity of these kryptonates is sensitive to chemical reactions at the surface. Estimates of the concentration of reactants are therefore made possible. Krypton is used in certain photographic flash lamps for high-speed photography. Uses thus far have been limited because of its high cost. Krypton gas presently costs about 30/1. 

Iodine compounds are important in organic chemistry and very useful in medicine. Iodides, and thyroxine which contains iodine, are used internally in medicine, and as a solution of KI and iodine in alcohol is used for external wounds. Potassium iodide finds use in photography. The deep blue color with starch solution is characteristic of the free element. 

Rhenium is also used as an electrical contact material because it has good wear resistance and withstands arc corrosion. Thermocouples made of Re-W are used for measuring temperatures up to 2200C, and rhenium wire is used in photoflash lamps for photography. 

Then there are other places such as chemical waste exchanges, pool supply companies, electroplating companies, photography supply shops, agriculture companies, specialty gas canister companies and just about any place where a chemical can be sold. 

A wide variety of applications has been proposed for aminothiazole derivatives from fungicides (Table VI-6) to a component of hair-waving lotions containing cosmetic resins for dyeing hair (733). The main applications cover the fields of agriculture, pharmacy, and photography or related activities. This section is only representative, not exhaustive, and can be completed with the indications given in Tables of Section VII. 

Various uses have been proposed for aminothiazoles in the field of photography. The more representative examples are given in Table VI-15. The 4-aminothia2ole derivative (425) has been reported to be efficient fog stabilizer for photographic emulsions (1019) (Scheme 241).
