Abstract:
This color calibration device is a color calibration device, calibrating colors in a captured image of a first imaging device between different imaging devices using a hologram emitting diffracted light at different frequencies corresponding to an observation angle, the color calibration device includes: a diffracted light spectral distribution calculation unit that obtains respective diffracted light spectral distribution of the diffracted light from the hologram; a camera sensitivity function estimation unit that estimates spectral sensitivity of the imaging device from the respective diffracted light spectral distribution of the diffracted light and each captured image of the diffracted light; and a color calibration unit that calibrates difference in color of the first imaging device relative to a second imaging device different from the first imaging device using the estimated spectral sensitivity.
Abstract:
Two-color (two-photon) excitation with two confocal excitation beams is demonstrated with a Raman shifter as excitation light source. Two-color excitation fluorescence is obtained from Coumarin 6H dye sample (peak absorption=394 nm, peak fluorescence=490 nm) that is excited using the first two Stokes outputs (683 nm, 954 nm, two-color excitation=398 nm) of a Raman shifter pumped by a 6.5 nsec pulsed 532 nm-Nd:YAG laser (Repetition rate=10 Hz). The two Stokes pulses overlap for a few nanoseconds and two-color fluorescence is generateven with focusing objectives of low numerical apertures (NA≦0.4). We observed the linear dependence of the two-color fluorescence signal with the product of the average intensities of the two Stokes excitation beams. The two-color fluorescence distribution is strongly localized around the common focus of the confocal excitation beams.
Abstract:
The laser beam to be measured is focussed onto a photographic film to rec the beam pattern. A second laser beam is then used to measure the displacement of the side lobes from the main beam. An apertured metal plate is then substituted for the film and, by the use of a beam deflector and a calorimeter, the intensity of the main beam alone is measured. Using the beam displacement data previously recorded, the metal plate is then moved to co-incide with one of the side lobes and the intensity of the side lobe recorded. This procedure is repeated for all remaining side lobes.
Abstract:
Apparatus in a camera for sensing the brightness of a subject to be photographed and devices for giving a visual indication to the camera operator whether or not a flash unit utilized with the camera is in an operative condition. In addition, apparatus is provided for automatically taking a picture of the subject using the ambient light if there is sufficient ambient light and for energizing the flash unit if there is insufficient ambient light. The apparatus also automatically takes a picture of the subject using ambient light if the flash unit is deflective.
Abstract:
An exposure source unit for a sensitometer. The exposure source unit provides in a single structure the combination of a flash lamp, a photographic density wedge, and a plurality of radiation paths from the flash lamp to an exposure plane in which the photographic density wedge is located. The exposure source unit is constructed to provide substantially uniform radiation over the entire area of the exposure plane. In first and second embodiments, a flash lamp is located adjacent to one end of the exposure source unit, and the exposure source unit presents a plurality of folded optical paths to the exposure plane. The folded optical paths prevent radiation from directly striking the exposure plane. The cross sectional area of the exposure source unit increases as the distance from the flash lamp increases. The internal walls of the unit are formed of highly reflective, light scattering surfaces so that light is thoroughly scattered before reaching the exposure plane. In a third embodiment, the exposure source unit is constructed of clear plastic and is shaped so radiation from the lamp is selectively internally reflected within the unit and selectively transmitted from the unit to provide substantially uniform radiation over the entire area of the exposure plane.
Abstract:
A photometric device for generating an electric signal related to coincident light intensity comprises a number of photoresponsive means each including first and second photoconductive elements having response characteristics such that the logarithm of resistance to the logarithm of light intensity are respectively proportional over different ranges of light intensity. Additionally, the first photoconductive element in each of the photoresponsive means has a higher sensitivity than that of the second photoconductive element. The first and second photoconductive elements are positioned to receive light for different areas of the objective field. The first and second photoconductive element of each photoresponsive means are specifically interconnected with similar elements of another photoresponsive means to enhance the light response characteristics.
