Newton rings are caused by small variations in the distance between two reflective surfaces. If the surfaces are perfectly parallel, there will be no Newton rings; if the angle between the surfaces is sufficiently great, there will be no visible Newton rings. Only when the surfaces are almost para

One would be to replace the glass with anti-newtonian rings glass if it is not already that. Another would be to use an anti-newtonian ring powder on the glass between the negative and the glass. I suppose you could use the two in cnjunction with each other as well as separately. The powder has

Is the glass replaceable? Anti-Newton ring glass does exist. Darkroom enthusiasts often use it when they sandwich their negatives between glass in enlarger negative carriers. Brian -- respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message

The cause of Newton Rings is when a space is created between two finely polished or glossy surfaces that is a very small space equal to or a small multiple of white light wavelengths, which then cause interference colors via the reflection between the surfaces. The best way to avoid them completel
