Apparatus and method for precisely exposing radiation sensitive materials.

摘要

Radiant energy is directed from a source (14,16) to an illumination plane (28) where the light receiving ends of groups (36) of optic fibers are arranged in coplanar striations (100), after which the radiant energy passes through the groups of optic fibers into individual exposure columns (40) and on to an exposure plane (42) where a radiation sensitive sample is exposed in individual areas to different, readily adjustable levels of illuminance from each of the groups of optic fibers, while shutter means are positioned between said source and said illumination plane for sequentially illuminating said striations. <IMAGE>
