Abstract:
Apparatus for indicating and/or controlling the exposure time of photographic material exposed to the electron beam of an electron microscope includes an electron impermeable, insulated conductive screen which may be positioned to intercept a part at least of the electron beam. The current flowing to the screen may be measured to indicate required exposure time. Alternatively the voltage across a resistor in the current path may be stored and integrated to yield a signal for indicating that exposure should be terminated. The signal may be used to produce termination of exposure.
Abstract:
There is described an apparatus for producing an electrical signal related to the varying concentration of a solution, for example a sugar solution. Light is inclinedly directed upon a surface of a prism which is in contact with the solution, so that light falling on one side of a boundary line, the position of which is a function of the concentration of the solution, is transmitted into the solution while light falling on the other side of this boundary line is totally reflected. The reflected light is directed towards an assembly including two photocells which are spaced apart in the direction of movement of the boundary as the solution concentration varies. The outputs of the two photocells are combined in a difference amplifier to yield a signal denoting that the solution concentration has reached a predetermined value dependent upon the position in said direction of movement to which the assembly is adjusted.
