Abstract
In some cases astronomers wish to transform a large intensity range into a small density range on a photographic plate. Therefore the slope of the characteristic curve must be lowered. This lowering gives the following advantages:
-
1.
Better visibility of details in the range of high incident intensities.
-
2.
Avoidance of some problems in measuring engines (saturation, strong lamps, etc.).
-
3.
Lowering of the influence of light diffusion.
