Progress Report #10
Photobleach Photography Phase II
The screening of blue and of green ices has continued. In addition, some of the
dyes were incorporated into black mixtures and evaluated. None of the dyes or
mixtures showed outstanding properties. Several new dyes having appropriate
color changes in acid have been ordered, and will be evaluated in July.
A brief experiment to determine the effect of heating during exposure on the
a, I D curve was performed. H& D curves (optical density plotted against log
exposure) were plotted for two samples of a Rose Bengal-iodoform film. During
one exposure the film was held at room temperature, while during the other the
temperature was raised by a stream of warm air. The respective slopes of the
H&D curves were 1. 6 and 2. 0. We have thus demonstrated that the slope of the
H&D curve can be increased by heating during exposure. The question of whether
such heating will affect photographic contrast during normal photographic exposure
still remains to be answered, however.
We wish to request an extension in time for completion of the present contract,
at no additional expense to the sponsor. The delay in the project has-been caused
by a manpower shortage which we have not been able to remedy. One of the two
technicians employed on the project took a leave of absence during April and May
in order to complete the requirements for his Bachelor's degree. Instead of
turning to the project in June, as scheduled, he accepted a professional
sition elsewhere. We have not been able to find a satisfactory replacement for
him as yet. At the present level of activity, we estimate that the project will be
completed by November 10, although an earlier date is possible should appropriate
personnel be found. The additional time requested will make it possible for us to
complete more satisfactorily the requirements of the present program with the
personnel now available.
Plans for July. The screening of dyes and evaluation of mixtures will be continued.
Quantitative work on the effect of temperature on exposure parameters will be
commenced.
