Polaroid photomacrography using the SX-70 camera. 1976

R W Randall

This paper describes a technique for taking color photographs of the external eye using the Polaroid SX-70 camera and a biomicroscope. It is particularly useful in providing a photographic record of anomalies such as pterygium, in which the rate of progression across the cornea can be observed over a period of months or years.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010781	Photography	Method of making images on a sensitized surface by exposure to light or other radiant energy.	Photographies
D011048	Polarography	An electrochemical technique for measuring the current that flows in solution as a function of an applied voltage. The observed polarographic wave, resulting from the electrochemical response, depends on the way voltage is applied (linear sweep or differential pulse) and the type of electrode used. Usually a mercury drop electrode is used.	DC Polarography,Pulse Polarography,Polarography, DC,Polarography, Pulse
