In such cases, the optimal contrast between the two topics provides a very? S white white and a black tr? S black in m? Me si? Do. This is accomplished by maximizing the quantity? the light for transmitted in at least one wavelength and to minimize the amount transferred (or att? naked?) in another example gamme.A for?
