ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided which includes a camera with an attachment for spectrally distributing light from a scene to be photographed, in order that the dominant spectrally distributed light color or colors of the scene or a part of it may be observed, and then photographed, as by using a selected filter. Spectral distribution of the light from the scene is achieved by a spectroscope such as a prism or a diffraction grating supported so as to receive light from the scene, preferably light which has passed through the viewfinder and lens in a single lens reflex camera. The spectroscope is supported by and from the camera, as by a support which engages the flash shoe of the camera, or is a clamp and which is preferably adjustable. The camera may be used in conjunction with a microscope.
A method is provided for aligning the prism and forming the lens system of the camera, including directing a laser beam through the prism and through the viewing and focussing lens system of the camera. A further method is the photographing of a scene with color film after a spectrally distributed image of the scene is viewed.
