I have been noticed that there are many potassium ferrioxalate crystals formed and "left over" from making cyanotype sensitizer for my laser dye project, the crystal is relatively easy to make and can be molded so I am thinking to build a crystal installation in large size. then I found it's the chemical for the actinometer. However I am using "new cyanotype" invented by Mike Ware, this crystal are not found in the traditional cyanotype formula. By mixing the two basic solutions potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium oxalate with heat, the crystal is formed after placing the mixed solutions for 2 hours to 48 hours, the duration length is relevant to the crystal physical shape, usually the longer the bigger crystal. Below I tried to "grow" the potassium ferrioxalate crystal on an aluminum plate and silk fibers.

what is actinometer? then I am looking into this old technology actinometer. Actinometers are instruments used to measure the heating power of radiation. They are used in meteorology to measure solar radiation as pyrheliometers. Microphotoreacter.png 1913 Balloon Borne Pyrheliometer.jpg


An actinometer is a chemical system or physical device which determines the number of photons in a beam integrally or per unit time. This name is commonly applied to devices used in the ultraviolet and visible wavelength ranges. For example, solutions of iron(III) oxalate can be used as a chemical actinometer, while bolometers, thermopiles, and photodiodes are physical devices giving a reading that can be correlated to the number of photons detected..

The actinometer was invented by John Herschel in 1825; he introduced the term actinometer, the first of many uses of the prefix actin for scientific instruments, effects, and processes.

The actinograph is a related device for estimating the actinic power of lighting for photography.
