A NEW PHOTO-CELL PHOTOMETER

Abstract
The sensitive surfaces of two Weston Photronic cells have been combined into a single photometer cell such that a simple null method of photometry is available. The sensitivity of the device has been studied when a sensitive galvanometer was used as indicator and found to be about five times that of visual methods. Immediate application to the comparison of two similar sources is possible; and by incorporating windows of the filter material recently described by O'Brien, comparison of the luminosity of any two sources is possible without recourse to a flicker photometer.
