Positive print

Reproducibility was provided by the calotype" process, patented in 1841 by the English landowner W. H. Fox Talbot, which used semi-transparent paper treated with Agl and a developer , gallic acid. This produced a negative from which any number of positive prints could subsequently be obtained. Furthermore it embodied the important discovety of the latent image which could be fully developed later. Even with Talbot s very coarse papers, exposure times were reduced to a few minutes and portraits became feasible, even if uncomfortable for the subject. 

Controlled delivery of collections of molecules onto a substrate with nanometre resolution can be achieved with the tip of an AFM. This positive printing mode technique is called dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) and its working principle is illustrated in Fig. 3.27. DPN uses an AFM tip as a nanopencil, a substrate as the paper and molecules with a chemical affinity for the substrate as the ink. Capillary transport of molecules from the AFM tip to the solid substrate is used in DPN to directly write patterns consisting of a relatively small collection of molecules in submicrometre dimensions. The hrst example introducing the technique was the transfer of octadecanethiol onto gold surfaces (Piner et al, 1999). 

Ink Printing,—By means of tine process, positive printe may be obtained in common writing ink. A ijheot of paper is immersed in a nearly saturated solution of bichromate of petassa", and dried. It Is then exposed under a negetive to sunshine for a low mitmtes. Where the light acts the bichromate is reduced, and a brown positive upon a yellow ground, obtained. This is well... 

Would a photographic negative be mostly transparent or mostly opaque if the camera shutter remained open too long and too much light fell on the film What would the positive print from this negative look like ... 

The positive print would be very light because there would be very little light passing through the negative to sensitize the silver ions in the photographic paper... 

The photograph (positive print) of the cross section of the fiber has been cut around with scissors, leaving a small amount of embedding araldite around the fiber-end stuck on a "bristol" paper The diffraction patterns were stuck close to the corresponding areas (to which they are related by arrows) and their orientations are corrected according to the image/diagram rotation introduced by the microscope.

This reaction takes place when fixing photographic negatives or positive prints after development. 

A positive print can be made by exposing print paper, coated with a silver halide emulsion, to light which passes through die superimposed negative, and then developing and fixing the exposed paper. 

Photographic processes. Photographic emulsion, developer, negative, fixing baths, positive print. 

Figure 17 is a positive print of a thin section from a section of Brown s Room wall coating. The sample was taken approximately 6 meters above the present water table and from the general vicinity of the section shown in Fig. 16. Different crystallographic and morphologic zones are marked on the figure. Note several features ...

Figure 17. Positive print of a 2"x3" thin section from Browns Room (DH-BR-2) that shows a very complex depositional history. The different calcite morphologies are labeled. The substrate is toward the left side of the figure. See text for interpretation.

The spectacular images that are captured on and printed from black and white film are the product of a series of redox reactions. The first redox reaction captures the image on the film inside the camera. The second is a reaction to produce a negative image of the exposed film. The third redox reaction creates the positive print from the negative film image.
