We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

This consideration does not take into account the loss by absorption and reflection in the passing through the condenser of the light. Even though by use of the condenser we utilize a greater amount of -^P5T R^D>K5i°^■'' )t^diation utilized RADIATION NOT UTILIZED FOR PROOECTION i Fig. 2 By interposition of an optically perfect condenser C, the illumination on the screen can be increased, because a greater solid angle of the radiation from the source S is utilized for producing a picture on the screen of the same size as shown in Fig. i. The upper figure shows how by placing a spherical mirror with its center curvature in coincidence with the light source, the quantity of light reaching the lens can, at least theoretically, be doubled. 46
