Analysis of Photographic Film Fragment (Sample 3:1)
AI-Generated Summary
A technical analysis of a film fragment found in sample 3:1 concludes that the material is likely photographic debris from a newspaper office rather than an object from the original discovery site. The contamination likely occurred at the offices of Sundsvalls Tidning.
This document, page 10 of an unidentified report, provides a technical analysis of a photographic film fragment associated with 'sample 3:1'. The analysis identifies the material as likely being collodion, featuring a screen pattern consistent with the type used in newspaper printing. The author concludes that it is highly unlikely the fragment was present at the original discovery site. Instead, it is suggested that the fragment was introduced to the sample during its transit from the discovery site to the Cellulosaindustriens Centrallaboratorium. The most probable point of contamination is identified as the offices of the newspaper 'Sundsvalls Tidning', as the editor, A. Morelius, was responsible for the initial discovery and subsequent forwarding of the sample to Dr. Bäcklund. The report notes that such fragments are common in newspaper offices, where they can exist as 'dust' and easily crumble when dry.
Fragment av dylika hinnor kunna mycket väl tänkas förekomma som "damm" på en tidningsredaktion, då de i torrt tillstånd lätt smulas sönder.
