Improving pictures in dermatopathology.
We have found that a remarkable improvement in the resolution of the details and in the richness of halftones can be obtained using 4" x 5" black-and-white professional films specifically prepared for scientific and documentary photography. Through modification of the developing time and developer dilution, a close control of the contrast and gray tones is also possible. Using this large-format film, a contact print can be made and top-quality pictures obtained even for a subject as difficult as skin pathology.
