was

>>degrees of cancellation and reinforcement ocurred, producing a latent
image
>>of the interference pattern set up within
>>the emulsion. After development, the faint but natural color image was
>>viewed by placing the plate against a mirror and
>>shining a light through it. Examined at a carefully determined angle, only
