developed (etched) in steps and intermediately transferred to copying film.<br />

2. Sharp image of objects containing low contrast materials.<br />

3. Shorter or comparable imaging times to indirect method with X- ay<br />

film/Dysprosium foil.<br />

In fast NR the following additional advantages in using nitrocellulose film have<br />

been identified:<br />
