Working Paper
This is a random collection of facts about radiant and luminous energy. Some of this information may be useful in the design of photo-diode image sensors, in the set-up of lighting for television microscopes and the understanding of the characteristics of photographic image output devices. A definition of the units of measurement and the properties of lambertian surfaces is included.
