ABSTRACT
A method of measuring film granularity will be described in which the transmitted light from a circularly-scanning spot is detected by a photomultiplier operating with constant average anode current. An expression for the signal-to-noise ratio will be derived and methods for improving it will be discussed. In particular, detailed consideration will be given to the effects of electrical measurement bandwidth on signal, noise and statistical error.
