Abstract

A new generation of black-and-white films manufactured by Eastman Kodak under the name of T-Max have proved, through controlled experiments, to be superior to existing film emulsions in recording short ultraviolet reflective and fluorescent photographs. The positive and negative aspects of this film emulsion are explored as they apply to forensic ultraviolet photography.
