Abstract

In this unhosted and non-credited program, photography is defined as a graphic record of light or radiant energy. Chemical development makes a photograph into a visible image. Scientific uses of photography include many military applications including rocket research, airplane instrumentation, ship hull performance, and underwater sound. The growth and structure of matter is tracked on film as well as blood flow and cosmic rays. Photography provides a visual record on scientific research and experimentation.
