I had read the Luminous Lint article, but hadn't found any examples of the diagonal colour grid. The late 1940s seems like a good date estimate.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-69917172619821090012013-12-04T00:19:18.396+13:002013-12-04T00:19:18.396+13:00Hi Brett, great article, lovely images, and thanks...Hi Brett, great article, lovely images, and thanks for the link to my Paget plates! I have a correction though - as soon as I saw your close-up of the colour grid I knew it wasn't quite right for Paget. What I am pretty certain you have here are nice examples of Dufaycolor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dufaycolor). See http://sasesearch.brighton.ac.uk/glossary/dufay.php for a good example of the grid and http://ian-partridge.com/dufay.html for some nice images quite similar to yours. It would appear that it was available into the 1940s (http://www.luminous-lint.com/IaW/public/5/1/2/11/0/20/T/ states it was marketed until the late 1940s) but I presume use would have ended quite abruptly because, as far as I am aware, exposed film had to be sent back for development, not just taken to the local chemist or processed at home. jamesinealinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309200327955493948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-68640607499910798632013-08-06T21:46:37.424+12:002013-08-06T21:46:37.424+12:00View C is less "busy" but still has plen...View C is less "busy" but still has plenty of activity, yes.

It has a special "light-lid" with a special light that moves with the scanning arm, somewhat different from most of the other scanners I have seen for slides. It is capable of very high resolutions at very good quality and, even though a few years old now, is at the high end of the market for non-professional scanners. It costs a bit more but you know what they say, you get what you pay for!Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-74449913977437082762013-08-04T16:06:27.639+12:002013-08-04T16:06:27.639+12:00Phew.
