History |
This diapositive likely depicts a scene from historic Mississauga in the 1950s. Diapositives, also known as lantern slides, slides, or transparencies, are typically viewed by projection rather than as paper prints. They are characterized by a silver image on a glass plate or a clear/translucent film base. Diapositives have the capacity to capture approximately up to 400 separate tones, compared to about 250 tones for paper prints. |
