CURVES
MTF SPECTRAL SENSITIVITY

Note: These photographic modulation-transfer values were


determined by using a method similar to the one described
in ANSI Standard PH2.39-1977 (R1990). The film was exposed
with the specified illuminant to spatially varying sinusoidal
test patterns having an aerial image modulation of a nominal
60 percent at the image plane, with processing as indicated.
In most cases, these photographic modulation-transfer
values are influenced by development-adjacency effects
and are not equivalent to the true optical modulation-
transfer curve of the emulsion layer in the particular
photographic product.
