摘要:
A developer solution can be used to prepare lithographic printing plates from negative-working precursors. The developer solution has a pH of at least 4 and up to and including 11. It also comprises both an ethylene/propylene glycol block copolymer and either or both of a sugar alcohol or a mono- or oligosaccharide. This combination of components provides desired processing to provide lithographic printing plates that can be used for printing without any post-development treatments with other solutions.

A swing prism endoscope with adjustable viewing direction includes a shaft with a proximal end and a distal end and a window of a transparent material that seals an opening on the distal end of the shaft so that it is fluid-tight. In addition the swing prism endoscope includes a pivotable prism on the distal end of the shaft for adjustable diversion of light that falls through the window into the shaft of the swing prism endoscope onto an object lens, where the pivotable prism is made of diamond.

摘要:
Negative-working imageable element can be used to prepared lithographic printing plates. These elements include a water-soluble contrast dye having a λmax in the range of from about 450 to about 750 nm and having an absorption that is lower than 10% with respect to the absorption of the radiation sensitive compound in the element at the wavelength used for exposure. The contrast dye is present in sufficient H-aggregation such that less than 40% of the entire absorption spectrum from the contrast dye is contributed by it in non-H-aggregated form.
