Abstract

475,415. Colour photography. KLEIN, A.B. May 15, 1936, No. 13844. [Class 97 (i)] Relates to beam splitting blocks of the kind including two partially reflecting surfaces oppositely angularly disposed to an incident beam of light so that part of the beam passes through undeviated and parts are reflected laterally in opposite directions. A colour filter is provided within the block behind each of the semi-reflecting surfaces so that any stray light reflected from a portion of the prism lying beyond the reflecting plane responsible for the formation of a lateral image, will, when finally emerging from the face of the prism .adjacent to the plane in which the said image is to be recorded, be minus light which the recording filter is capable of transmitting or, if a photographic emulsion is used which does not require such a filter, which the emulsion is capable of recording. As shown, the block is built up from right-angle isosceles prisms 1, 2, 3, 4. The surfaces 17 and 20 are coated with a partially reflecting surface of, for example, aluminium. Magenta (minus green) filters 21, 22 are interposed and the prismscemented in pairs with hard Canada Balsam and dried off. The hypotenuse faces 18, 19 and 10, 13 are polished and the surface 17, 18 aluminized and cemented to the surface 10, 13 with soft Canada Balsam with the interposition of a yellow (minus blue) filter, and dried off. The filters are dyed films of, for example, cellulose acetate. This may be applied in the form of a liquid containing the dye. Of the light entering the prism, only red rays are passed through undeviated. Blue and red will be reflected through blue filter 30 to form the blue component image. Alternatively, a blue-sensitive emulsion may be used without a filter. Green and red rays are reflected through the green filter 31 to give the green component image. Alternatively, a yellow (minus blue) filter may be used with a green-sensitive emulsion. The red filter 34 is optional. A single objective 25 or separate objectives 26, 27, 28 may be used. By choosing different filters for inclusion in the block, the planes in which the three colour component images are recorded may be interchanged.
