Antwerp Central Station late on a Monday evening, so not very busy. This is the central hall, which I find very impressive.
About the image: a 5 exposure HDR generated using Nik HDR Efex, then converted to mono (duotone selenium) using Nik Silver Efex.
Photograph scanned from an original hand-printed, selenium-toned print made with Ilford MG FB Classic paper.

This is a close up of the white fluff on my little cactus, you can see the spines in the background. Taken with a reversed 50mm lens on the front of a 105mm Nikkor Micro lens.

As you can see there is also a wire soldered to it here.
Besides the stamps (factory ? Batchnr. ?) also some handwritten ciphers.
9/55, Production date Sept.1955 ? Possible.

Selenium in sandstone from New Mexico, USA. (SDSMT 3909, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Museum of Geology, Rapid City, South Dakota, USA)
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 4900 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
Elements are fundamental substances of matter - matter that is composed of the same types of atoms. At present, 118 elements are known (four of them are still unnamed). Of these, 98 occur naturally on Earth (hydrogen to californium). Most of these occur in rocks & minerals, although some occur in very small, trace amounts. Only some elements occur in their native elemental state as minerals.
To find a native element in nature, it must be relatively non-reactive and there must be some concentration process. Metallic, semimetallic (metalloid), and nonmetallic elements are known in their native state.
The rock shown above is from a "roll front deposit", in which native selenium occurs along a redox front in fluvial sandstone (see Granger & Santos, 1982).
Stratigraphy & age of host rock: fluvial sandstone, Westwater Canyon Member, Morrison Formation, Upper Jurassic
Locality; Section 23 Mine, Ambrosia Lake Mining District, north of Grants, New Mexico, USA

Voskhod (earlier versions are marked in Cyrillic: Восход) means "sunrise" or "ascent" in Russian; later, export models are marked in Latin lettering

As to Alexander Komarov
35mm film Viewfinder camera
Lens: LOMO T-48 (Triplet) 45mm f/2.8, filter slip-on, serial no. none
Aperture: up to f/22setting: ring and scale on the lens-shutter barrel
Focus range: 1-8m +inf,
Focusing: manual front cell; ring, distance scale with symbols and DOF scale on the lens
Shutter: leaf shutter; speeds: 1-1/250 +B; setting: ring and scale on the lens-shutter barrel
Shutter speeds and aperture numbers are linked together by means of mechanical coupling. When turning the apertures or shutter speeds rings, the other turns too.
They can be turned separately by the pressing the knobs on the lens-shutter barrel
Shutter release: on the front plate, w/ cable release socket
Cocking lever: also winds the film, shark-fine like shape, on the lens-shutter barrel
Frame counter: manual reset, decreasing type, window on the top-plate
Viewfinder: Galileo type bright frame finder w/ parallax correction lines
Exposure meter: coupled built-in Selenium cell meter
Film speed range: 12-26 DIN, 11-250 GOST, setting: by a thumb ring and windows on the bottom plate
Exposure setting: after setting the shutter speed or aperture, check the needle in the viewfinder, it must be on the middle of the lower bright line, if not, turn the aperture-speeds rings to find the correct exposure
Re-wind lever: folding crank, on the top-plate
Re-wind release: on the bottom plate
Flash PC socket: on the front plate
Cold-shoe
Memory dial : small window and thumb lever on the front plate, with Cyrillic characters
Self-timer: none
Back cover: hinged, opens by a latch on the left side of the camera
Engraving on the back cover: Made in USSR
Tripod socket: 3/8"
Strap lugs
Body: metal; Weight: 690g
Serial no. 661919, in the camera, first two letters show the production year
Some very rare early models bear the LOOMP logo.

I bought this a while ago from a car boot. Initially They wanted two quid, at which I walked. A few weeks later they took 50p. However, it looked faulty. Still, came in a cute little zipped leather case!
Forgot all about it until this evening. I took it apart, bent a copper strip that pushes the selenium cell forwards, and hey ... it works! It might need some calibration though, I feel that it underexposes a wee bit, at least against the light meter in my Sony DSLR.

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory aimed to make micro- and nanostructures of selenium in a single heat-treatment. Here, a pseudo-colored scanning electron micrograph of multi-phase selenium microstructures is shown as-grown in a single experiment on a fused quartz substrate while under vacuum in a sealed glass vessel.

Selenium coupled meter with flash synchronization to 1/1000 sec Fully serviceable, this is actually heavier than my Lynx 5000

Found in a catch-all bag of filters and miscellaneous items purchased from a thrift store. Came with its leather case. The meter still functions and is a small wonder of construction. Thought I should document it in direct sunlight one last time. I'll keep it in its case and away from direct light; I want that selenium cell's sensitivity to last a little longer.
Looking for a replacement for my favorite Kentmere Kentona. This is Kentmere Finegrain VC FB, toned in selenium.

More often than not, when I find a Petri camera, it's broken. Amazingly, I found this one in working condition, including the selenium cell meter. There are many examples of the 7 S available in thrift stores and online as Petri made this particular model for over a decade. A pleasant, clean industrial design worthy of a spot on my shelves.
