Motion Photomicrography with the Cine Kodak
Clifton M. Tuttle · Transactions of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers · 1927
The use of the motion picture camera with the microscope is by no means a new thing. The work of Comandon, Chevraton, Rosenberger, and others is well enough known so that the advantages of this combination need only brief mention. In educational work the motion picture offers an unapproachable method of presenting microscopic subjects before an audience—a method which is much more successful than microscopic projection or demonstration by means of the double lens oculars. In research, the motion picture camera can often take the place of a trained observer saving him many tedious hours over the microscope. In some cases a motion picture record offers an improvement over visual study by either slowing down or accelerating the action of a microscopic subject. It is possible by regulation of taking speed to analyze the mechanism of changes which can only be surmised by the visual method of study.
