Fig. I. Showing Graininess of A-Ray Intensifying Screens; AIagnh ication, 9 Diameters. resulting negatives were examined with asmall magnifier. Individual screens werefound to vary considerably in excellence ofdefinition. Photomicrographs of some ofthese tests are shown in Fig. 2. The defini-tion of Dupli-Tized A-Ray film withoutscreen is by this test markedly superior tothe best screen definition. It should be bornein mind, however, that no scattering mediumwas interposed between tube and film. The200-mesh gauze is well suited to such defini-tion tests; the best intensifying screens showthe meshes cjuite distinctly, while withthe poorest screens, the meshes canscarcelv be distinguished. These testsshowed that somewhat better definition isobtained with a single screen than by thedouble combination; all the single screensexcept one were found better than anydouble screen combination. This factor ofdefinition is being investigated further andthe writer hopes to present at some futuretim
