Abstract

Due to the great speed of supersensitive film to Mazda lights, it is possible to make satisfactory medical motion pictures under lighting conditions impossible with regular panchromatic film. The high red sensitivity of this new film permits the recording of detail lost in the past. Telephoto lenses can now be used, giving both the photographer and the surgeon more freedom of movement, with less danger of interfering with aseptic precautions.
