Extract

The sensitivity of photographic plates to mass rays bears practically no relation whatever to their sensitivity to light. A short account is given of tests on the relative merits of different brands of plates since the first experiments on positive ray analysis. The process of improving the qualities of plates by schumannising is discusseci and details are given of the process found likely to give the best results. Success cannot be guaranteed even with the most careful manipulation, but if achieved yields plates of outstanding value for use in such methods of analysis as the mass-spectrograph.
