Micrography film is normally used for
medical and scientific imaging and not usually for general photography.
Below is some of the properties of photomicrography film.
-
Photomicrography film is an extremely
fine grained emulsion, finer in fact than almost any other color film.
-
Photomicrography film possesses very high
color saturation of all colors but especially orange and red.
-
Photomicrography film delivers very high
image contrast, making it a natural for stark, graphic effects.
Some disadvantages with photomicrography
films
-
At low ISO, it is very slow.
-
When using the film without a filter, you
will notice a pronounced magenta color cast in the processed slides.
-
The film remains one of the few color
slide emulsions that must be processed in the long-discontinued E-4
process. Chemistry is not available for home processing and very few
custom labs around the country would be able to produce finished
slides.
Using photomicrography film is always an
adventure. You can never be sure of what colors you will get.
