<title>The KELSH K-460 Stereometric Camera - A New Tool For Medicine And Biology</title>

Abstract

The use of the close -range technique in biostereometrics has created the need for a simple, precise universal stereometric camera system. The Kelsh K -460 Stereometric Camera has been designed to fill this need.The camera focusing distance of 360mm to infinity covers a broad field of close -range photogrammetry. The design provides for a separate unit for the lens system and interchangeable backs on the camera for the use of single frame film exposure, roll -type film cassettes, or glass plates. The system incorporates the use of the surface contrast optical projector (SCOP) developed at AbstractThe use of the close-range technique in biostereometrics has created the need for a simple, precise universal stereometric camera system.
