An examination of some experimental methods of comparing intensities of spectrum lines
… of spectrum lines are described, using photographic plates, photomultipliers and photo-resistive cells as the measuring instruments. The performance of each of these detectors was assessed by using them, in turn, to determine the intensity ratios of the components of a particular mercury …

AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF LOW-MASS STAR FORMATION IN NGC 2264
… 2264, is examined in this thesis using UBVRIHα photographic plate material. After digitization and removal of the variable background from these plates, automatic detection and photometry algorithms yield magnitudes for a set of candidate low-mass cluster members. Using the photographic plates …
