For practical work and keeping qualities the author found theCadett & Neal Special Slow Spectrum Plate of Group IV most satisfactory, andused it in the preparation of the spectrographs illustrated in Fig. 3.

The principal Fraunhofers lines are name of the stain is on the left, while on the right is the name of the proper screen to use toincrease the photographic intensity. To decrease the contrast use a screen of the same color as thestain. The perfect photo-micrographic plate would give equal photographic in-tensity to all the colors of the visual spectrum, but since this degree of excellencehas not been attained, the value of a given plate may be enhanced by the use ofcolor screens, or ray filters, which serve to increase or decrease the photographicintensity of a color. The following are the laws upon which the use of colorscreens is based: First. To increase the photographic intensity
