  • Radially varying transmission filter for wide angle copying device
    Patent number: 4298275
    Abstract: A neutral density filter with a radially varying transmission is inserted in close proximity to the projection lens in a photocopier optical system. The filter has a transmission profile which provides compensation for photoconductor irradiance falloff due to cos.sup.4 as well as other circularly symmetrical non-uniformities in the optical system such as lens exit pupil distortion.

  • Variable density filter for a multi-magnification copying device
    Patent number: 4298274
    Abstract: In an optical system for a multi-magnification copying device, a relative illumination filter is mounted in a fixed position relative to the projection lens with the center on the lens optical axis. The filter provides a radially varying transmission therethrough which compensates for circularly symmetric nonuniformities in the optical system at any magnification.
