Abstract
A detailed characterization has been established for the new, high-sensitivity double-emulsion Kodak Direct Exposure Film (DEF). The experimental data base consisted of density-versus-exposure measurements that were duplicated at several laboratories for x radiations in the 1000–10,000-eV region. The absorption and geometric properties of the film were determined, which, along with the density-exposure data, permitted the application of a relatively simple analytical model description for the optical density, D, as a function of the intensity, I (photons/μm2), the photon energy, E (eV), and the angle of incidence, θ, of the exposing radiation. A detailed table is presented for the I values corresponding to optical densities in the 0.2–2.0 range and to photon energies, E (eV), in the 1000–10,000-eV region. Experimentally derived conversion relations have been obtained that allow the density values to be expressed as either diffuse or specular. Also presented here is a similar characterization of the complementary, single-emulsion x-ray film, Kodak SB-5 (or 392). For the 1000–10,000-eV region this x-ray film is appreciably less sensitive but has higher resolution.
