Abstract: In order to test whether a diamond has had a layer of synthetic diamond deposited thereon, it is irradiated with high energy ultraviolet radiation to cause emission of luminescence, the luminescence intensity produced by different zones of the diamond being measured and compared. In one embodiment an integrating enclosure (15) is used and the diamond (13) is mounted on a rotatable mount (14).

Abstract: A fast photographic lens system comprises a first lens having a positive refractive power, a convex-shaped outer face and a flat inner face; a second lens having a positive refractive power, a convex-shaped outer face and a concave-shaped inner face; a third lens having a negative refractive power, a slightly convex-shaped outer face, and a concave-shaped inner face; a fourth lens having a negative refractive power and a concave-shaped inner face; a fifth lens, joined with the fourth lens, and having a positive refractive power, a relatively flat inner face and a convex-shaped outer face; a sixth lens having a positive refractive power, a slightly concave-shaped inner face and a convex-shaped outer face; and a seventh lens, having both convex-shaped inner and outer faces.
Abstract: An objective lens having a first surface and a second surface, includes a first face formed on the first surface, a second face formed on the second surface, and a third face formed on one of the first and second surfaces. The first, second, and third faces are adapted in such a way that the objective lens has at least two focal lengths.
