Light integration for dirt/scratch

Difuse light from the integrating sphere reduces the appearance of scratches in the film base, and scratches on the emulsion side (that do not damage the dye layers) without softening, blurring, or altering the image. 		Very good

Diffuse light source

Light from scratch reaches lens.
