The visual assessment of tooth colour by the comparison and matching of the tooth with a tooth colour shade guide under the same lighting conditions is the most frequently applied method in dentistry... Tooth shade guides come in many types and forms, but essentially the basic design involves a series of standard tooth colours, often tooth shaped, and can be arranged according to chroma and/or value. 1, record 1, English, - tooth%20colour%20shade%20guide

[A] blue screen will require twice as much light as [a] green screen, often a whole f-stop. But because of this difference in luminosity, blue also results in less color spill. Blue screen is also ideal for replicating darker or nighttime conditions. 4, record 2, English, - blue%20screen
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The blue screen method was developed in the 1930s at RKO Radio Pictures.... Before digital chroma keying, bluescreening was accomplished using film. The camera color negative was printed onto high-contrast black and white film, using either a filter or the color sensitivity of the black and white film to limit it to the blue channel. Assuming this film was a negative it produced clear where the bluescreen was [and] black elsewhere... The end result was a clear background with an opaque shape of the subject in the middle. 5, record 2, English, - blue%20screen

La couleur bleue [...] a été utilisée dans le cinéma bien avant l'apparition des techniques numériques modernes. En tournage sur pellicule, l'utilisation du bleu était liée au fait que la couche d'émulsion bleu du film avait «les plus beaux cristaux» et donc plus de détails pour le minimum de grain (en comparaison avec les couches rouges et vertes de l'émulsion.) Mais le bleu nécessite d'avoir plus de lumière pour fonctionner que le vert. [C'est donc] plus difficile à utiliser. 4, record 2, French, - fond%20bleu

[The] Munsell Colour Chart [or] Munsell chart is used to bring some consistency into the recording of the colours of archaeological items, features and, most commonly, soils and sediments. The chart consists of a book of coloured paint samples each individually numbered. This means that if a person records a sherd of pottery as being the same as colour sample number 10YR5/6 on the chart anyone else with a chart can see exactly what colour that is. The book contains only those colours frequently seen in soils but the Munsell system can record any colour. This system was evolved to prevent the frequent use of arbitrary descriptions of colour. 9, record 6, English, - Munsell%20soil%20colour%20chart

[Le] code Munsell [est une] charte de couleur utilisée internationalement par les pédologues pour décrire la couleur du sol. Le code comporte trois variables : la teinte qui va du rouge (10R) au brun (10 YR) puis au jaune (Y) et au bleu (B), la clarté qui va du noir (0) au blanc (10) et la pureté qui va du terne (0) au vif (8). La couleur d'un horizon LA issu d'un limon des plateaux est par exemple 10YR 4/3 : teinte = 10YR, clarté = 4, pureté = 3. Une couleur rouille est par exemple 7,5 YR 5/6, et une couleur blanche est 10 YR 8/2.

The Molecular Dynamics Sarastro 2000 has a simple light path that makes it ideal for conversion to a 2-photon scope. We retained the ability to use the microscope in the 1-photon, confocal mode by replacing mirror 2 with a beamsplitter that passes IR from the Mira 900 or reflects visible excitation from the on-board 25 mW argon-ion laser. Mirror 3 and the two scanning mirrors were replaced with broad-band mirrors for better IR throughput. We installed a plate that blocks the IR laser beam whenever the lid is opened to change filters, for safety. That is it--No more modifications necessary! To use in the 2-Photon mode, the on-board laser is turned off, the Mira 900 IR laser is turned on, the primary dichroic wheel is rotated to a 680 SP(Chroma) mirror, and the excitation filter and aperture wheels are rotated to the "open" settings. To improve rejection of excitation light, a barrier filter(680 SP, Chroma) is used in the detector housing. 3, record 19, English, - 2%2Dphoton%20imaging
