A very delicate experiment, yet a very natural one, which Buffon appears to have first noticed, led in all probability to the invention of the monochromatic mode of painting, or painting with a single colour.
Seifu Yohei, however, has the special faculty of manufacturing monochromatic and jewelled porcelain and faience, which differ essentially from the traditional Kioto types, their models being taken directly from China.
In the products of the Kioto branch the decoration generally covered the whole surface of the piece; in the products of the other branch the artist aimed rather at pictorial effect, placing the design in a monochromatic field of low tone.

Pauline is the same Pauline who wanted to draw in monochromatic drawing.
My poor Pauline, if you cannot see right when you have a crayon in your hand, and will not draw what you see then, no "monochromatic system" is going to help you.
Wood of Baltimore has obtained excellent results by monochromatic photography of Jupiter and Saturn with the 60-inch reflector on Mount Wilson.
The sun's original image is nearly 17 inches in diameter on the plate, and the solar chromosphere and prominences, together with the photosphere and faculae, are all recorded by monochromatic light.
By properly adjusting the position of the lens N a sharp monochromatic image of the round hole in the plate D is focussed upon the screen R.
Imagine P to be surrounded in the first instance by a glass shade which transmits only monochromatic red light.
Now the "image" thus formed is not generally perceived as a simple monochromatic one, darker in some parts, lighter in others, like a black and white engraving.
Having thus explained the main part of the apparatus with which we shall work, we can go on and show how monochromatic light of any degree of purity can be produced on the screen.
It may be grown in full isolation, and carefully selected, all red or nearly monochromatic samples being rooted out long before blooming, but nevertheless the seed will always produce some red roots.
Selection always tends to exclude the monochromatic specimens, but does not prevent their return in every generation.
To the many instances given by him of such alternative inheritance, the monochromatic reversionists of the striped varieties are to be added as a new type.
They may be borne by the same racemes, or on different branches, or some seedlings from the same parent-plant may bear monochromatic flowers while others may be striped.
The striped variety of the larkspur of our gardens is known to produce monochromatic flowers, in addition to striped ones.
They come from seed, when this is taken from striped individuals, and thence revert from time to time to the corresponding monochromatic type.
The experiments were conducted during five generations with the violet, and during four with the striped Clarkia, including the progeny of the striped and of the monochromatic red offspring of a primitive striped plant.
A corolla cannot be at once monochromatic and striped, nor can the same part of a stem be twisted and straight.
Camellia japonica is often striped in the fall and during the winter, but when flowering in the spring it returns to the monochromatic type.
In fact the whole pedigree would be reduced to a monochromatic strain, which would in each generation sport in some individuals into the striped variety.
For example, natural white light would be decomposed into monochromatic lights by the aid of the prism, and into polarized light by the aid of the polarizer.
The observed movement will then be decomposed into simple movements, for example, sound into its harmonics, white light into its monochromatic components.
You can't get monochromatic light, because light can't be monochromatic.
The monochromatic process is also making great strides in advance.
I have told you that sodium salts give to a colourless flame a fine monochromatic or pure yellow colour.
It cannot be resolved into red and yellow, as some might have supposed, it is monochromatic light, i.
How are we to distinguish a pure andmonochromatic orange colour from a colour produced by a mixture of red and yellow?
Corder, on whose notification Mr. Espin, on August 21, examined its nearly monochromatic spectrum.
But monochromatic or "bright-line" light is, by its nature, incapable of being so diffused.
Thus, calcium can be rendered virtually monochromatic by attenuation, and analogous cases are not rare.
Having considered all these things carefully, I have come to the conclusion that it will be much safer and easier to keep on using colours in our imitations, even if we do present these imitations to a monochromatic eye.
They were trapped in a semi-stasis of time as the ship fled on through the distorted monochromaticregions that bypassed normal space.
Kennon said, looking across the writhing semifluid control board, shifting oddly in the harsh yellowmonochromatic light that pervaded the cabin.
Under monochromatic yellow-green light the magical drapery of color would disappear and the surroundings would be a monochrome of shades of this hue.
Monochromatic light is utilized in photo-micrography for the best rendition of detail.
This should be obvious when it is considered that an object which is red under an illuminant containing all colors such as sunlight would be black or dark gray under monochromatic yellow-green light.
The Gaussian theory is only an approximation; monochromatic or spherical aberrations still occur, which will be different for different colours; and should they be compensated for one colour, the image of another colour would prove disturbing.
Consequently the monochromatic class includes the aberrations at reflecting surfaces of any coloured light, and at refracting surfaces of monochromatic or light of single wave length.
The lake and its islands are monochromatic and severe, and the footbridge traditional to Sung landscape gardens is represented by three long flat stones crossing a narrow portion of the rear part of the lake.
If monochromatic light be used, these bands are simply bright and dark, but with white light the circles display iris-colours.
Now let us return to our slit, and, for the sake of simplicity, we will first consider the case of monochromatic light.
The light of the lamp being, in the first place, rendered monochromatic by placing a pure red glass in front of the slit, when the eye is placed in the straight line drawn through both slits an extraordinary appearance (shown in fig.
Janssen in India and by Mr. Lockyer in England, by which the monochromatic bands of the prominences are caused to obtain the mastery, and to appear in broad daylight.
With these considerations to guide us, let us follow the course of a beam of monochromatic light through our glass prism.
You notice that in monochromatic light the rings run closer and closer together as they recede from the centre.
This optical defect of the eye makes objects appear more sharply defined when viewed in monochromatic light.
It has been suggested that chromatic aberration in the eye-lens is a contributory cause, but this cannot be very important, for the illusion is visible with monochromatic light which eliminates chromatic aberration.
Monochromatic painting upon pottery, familiar to the primitive Ionians, seems to have originated upon the Syro-Phoenician coasts.
It is still a point of difference between eminent investigators whether radiant heat, up to a temperature of 100°C, is monochromatic or not.
The vapour from the mixture ignites and we have a monochromatic flame.
