To minimize dimensional distortion, the object and film must be ____ one another.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the object and the film are parallel to each other, there is minimal distortion in the image. If they are perpendicular, it can cause elongation or foreshortening of the image. Placing them at a 45-degree angle can also cause distortion. Placing them more than the length of the PID apart can cause magnification or reduction of the image, thus not minimizing dimensional distortion.
