ON LIPPMANN’S COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WITH OBLIQUELY INCIDENT LIGHT. N the discussion which followed Prof. Lippmann’s splendidly interesting communication to the Royal Society (April 23), on colour photography, I suggested the possibility of applying his method to the Rontgen X-light ; but at the same time remarked that it might be found impracticable on account of the smallness of the specular reflection of the X-light from polished sur¬ faces, unless at obliquities little short of 90°. Lord Blythswood’s experiments, communicated to the Royal Society on March 19, seemed to prove decisively some¬ thing of true specular reflection of X-light, incident on a plane mirror of speculum metal at 45°. Experiments, which he has since made by means of a concave mirror of speculum metal, have demonstrated beyond all doubt that there is regular reflection at nearly normal in¬ cidence ; but they have also proved that the amount of regularly reflected light is exceedingly small in propor¬ tion to diffuse light caused to emanate from the mirror, by the incidence of X-light upon it. Experiments by Joly, of Dublin, have, I believe, proved somewhat abundant specular reflection of the X-light, at incidences little short of 90°, on surfaces of bodies transparent to ordinary light. And the extremely small refractivity of the photographic gelatine film for X-light, will allow incidences little short of 90° upon the metal mirror, to be used instead of the normal incidences which Prof. Lippmann has hitherto used. But for very oblique incidences the mercury mirror, with its surface fitted to
