Select Gabriel Lippmann Quotations
The problem of direct colour photography has been facing us since the turn of the last century.
Gabriel Lippmann

Gabriel Lippmann

In the case of composite colour, an infinity of systems must be obtained for maxima infinitely slight and with an infinity of interval values separating them - that is to say, the whole thickness of the sensitive layer is occupied in continuous manner by these maxima.
Gabriel Lippmann

Gabriel Lippmann

Gabriel Lippmann

During exposure, interference takes place between the incident rays and those reflected by the mirror, with the formation of interference fringes half a wavelength distant from each other.
Gabriel Lippmann
