| 1889 R. Meldola Chem. of Photogr. vi. 219 The observation of Sabatier, that a collodion wet plate becomes reversed if, towards the end of development, day⁓light is suddenly admitted to the room, relates to cases of what may be called pseudo-solarisation. 1969 M. J. Langford Adv. Photogr. xi. 228 The effect discussed here, although described by photographers as solarisation, is the Sabattier effect or ‘pseudo-solarisation’. The effect is easily distinguished—the reversal of weakest densities, and the formation of a thin contour line around strong tone boundaries. 1972 Exper. Mechanics XII. 423 A method is described for obtaining well⁓defined fringes..in photoelastic stress analysis. It is based on an edge effect which occurs during the pseudo-solarization of films during development. |
