(The possibility exists that the PG-1 performed poor because of this
reason, and what with the colour adapter on the Kelsh-plotter?
Does the flickering of fluorescent tubes disturb vision temporarily,
until a defensive adaptation takes place? (Nathan, 1961).
Other unconsious changes are the adjustment of the pupil diameter,
which depends on emotion too, and the bleaching of the chemicals in
the retinal receptors by the action of light itself. (Both have
connections with the next group and with visual fatigue in the
psychological group) |

The SENSITIVITY to white LIGHT is the most essential
property of the eye. Physiologists study the basic
Physiological mechanisms — as, for instance, the dark adaptation

are concerned with normal conditions, so we have to
restrict to those properties which have relevance to
our work.

The eye's (entrance) pupil is about 3 to 4 mm when looking through a
Stereoscope - consequently, the instrument's exit pupil should be 3.5
to 4 mm in diameter, otherwise the eye's mechanism is disorganized.
Another point: the visual intensity range within one photograph or
scenery which can be received by the eye is only 1 to 10. Areas which € ©
reflect less than 10% of the whitest areas are seen as completely black, ,
So please cover bright areas in and outside the print, if shadow details

should be examined.
[Some interesting points: What is the tolerable luminance difference
between the left and the right-hand photographs under a stereoscope,
for easy viewing? 1.5 or 2x? Do both pupils adjust in tandem to ihe
same diameter, even if only one eye sees a bright image, the other
viewing a dark print? They do, as can be found in front of a mirror,
with one eye looking into a lamp.
Operators are more tolerable with respect to a decrease in luminance
of the image, if the magnification of the instrument is switched from
1$ to 4$ times, as in the Old Delft, but if the exit pupil becomes
too small, it is tiresome.]
