Description
GEOLA-1S (PFN-01T)
GEOLA-1S plates are successfully applied by several precious metals refineries for measuring density of precious metals. Also those plates can be used for other technical surveys photographic applications.
GEOLA-1S (PFN-01T) is an improved analogue of KODAK Spectrum Analysis Glass Plate No.1
GEOLA-1S photographic plates also have better characteristics than the photographic plates of these well known companies: Ilford Special Rapid Plates, Ilford N30 Ordinary Plates, Ilford G30 Chromatic Plates (Great Britain), Aviphot Pan 100 Negative Plates (Agfa-Gevaert, Belgium), ORWO Negative Platten NP 27, ORWO Fototechnische latten FU2 (Germany), and when used for spectrum analyzing gives better results.
Special features
- Coarse Granularity;
- Isoorthochromatic Sensitivity: up to 580 nm;
- Contrast: 1,7-2,1;
- Typical resolving power: 100 lines per millimeter;
- Antihalation backing;
- Silver concentration: 6.5±0.2 g/sqm.
Handling and storage recommendations
- Life time: 18 months
- Storage room temperature: 20±4 degrees C
- Humidity in a storage room: 65±15%
- Process exposed plates as soon as possible. Photoplates should be unsealed and processed at indirect non-actinic lighting and with use of dark-red light filter with transmission zone of 600 nm and above
Processing
For processing you may use any developer that used to work with KODAK Spectrum Analysis Glass Plate No.1 (Such as Kodak D-19 developer)
