Forensic Flashcards
The larger the aperture the less depth the field.
For maximum depth of field use the smallest aperture
Aperture
The closer the subject you focus on the less depth of field depth of field is greater with distance subject
Focused subject
The longer the lens you use the last depth of field you will have. Wide angle lenses give you the greatest depth of field
Focal length
A suspension of a sensitive silver salt or a mixture of silver halides in a viscous medium forming a coating on a photographic plates film or paper
Emulsion
A layer found in a modern photographic films it is placed between the light sensitive emulsion and the tough film base or sometimes on the back of the film base
Gray or anti-halation backing
A transparent substrate which acts as a support medium for the photosensitive emulsion that lies atop it
Film base
Three major type of film base in use
Cellulose nitrate
cellulose acetate
polyethylene threptalate polyester
Characteristic of b&w films
Emotion speed
Spectral sensitivity
Granularity or graininess
Express in arithmetical value
ASA (american standards association)
Expressed in logarithmic value
DIN ( DEOTCHE INDUSTRIE NORMEN)
Expressed in the combined arithmetical and logarithmic values
ISO ( international standards organization)
Sensitive to uv rays and blue color only
Blue sensitive film
Sensitive to uv rays to blue and green color it is not sensitive to red color
Orthochromatic film
Sensitive to uv rays to blue green red light and infrared rays
Infrared film
This refers to the size of the metallic silver grains that are formed after development of an exposed film.
Granularity or graininess
A multilayer emulsion coated on the same support or base
Color film
Also known as slide film forms a negative image when exposed which is revised to a positive image during developing the film can be projected onto a screen
Color reversal film
A negative image when exposed which is permanently fixed during developing this is then exposed onto photographic paper to form a positive image
Color negative film
Exposed to light in a controlled manner, either by, placing a negative in contact with a paper directly to produce a contact print, by using an enlarger to in order to create a latent image by exposing in some types of camera to produce a photographic negative
Photographic paper
Has a slow speed and is suited for contact printing
Chloride paper
Fast speed and is recommended for projection printing or enlarging
Bromide paper
Is a multi speed and could be used in both contact printing or enlarging
Chloro-bromide paper
Are used on over exposed or low contrast negative
0 to 1
Are used on normal exposed or normal contrast negative
2
Are used in under exposed or high contrast negatives
3 to 5
A camera accessory consisting of an optical filter that can be inserted in the optical path a glass or plastic desk with a metal or plastic ring frame which can be screwed in front of the lens
Filters
A filter used to change the color quality of the exposing light in order to secure proper color balance for artificial light films
Light balance filter
This is used to change the overall color balance of photographic result obtained with color films and to compensate for deficiencies in the quality of exposing energy
Color compensating filter
Filter used when the light is too bright to allow the use of desired f number or shutter speed with a particular film
Neutral density filter
It is used to reduce or minimize reflections on subjects like water glass and highly polished surface
Polarizing filter
Simply a combination of the aperture and shutter speed. Defined as the product of the total light intensity and the length of time it strike the emulsion.
Exposure
Form of energy commonly refers to electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by human eye
Flight
Properties of all electromagnetic radiation can be described three interrelated terms
Wavelength frequency energy
A typical waveform has crest and troughs
Wavelength
The wavelength of visible light
Between 40 to 700 nm
Violate
blue
green
yellow
orange
red
400- 440 nm
440 to 490 nm
490 to 540 nm
540 to 590 nm
600 to 650 nm
650 to 700 nm
This is electromagnetic energy having a wavelength that ranges from 10 to 30 mm
X-rays
is divided into near and far ultraviolet and ranges from about 200 to 400 mm wavelength this ray of light is also invisible like the infrared
Ultraviolet light
Create a layer of ozone a special form of oxygen to protect the living organism on earth
Ultraviolet ray
Produces different sensation when they strike the human eye the color of the different objects are usually mixtures of light of wave various wavelengths and not a special color
Visible light
