Description

G03B encompasses apparatus for image capture using optical and analogous non-optical wave techniques, along with devices for image projection and viewing. This subclass covers camera designs, photographic recording mechanisms, optical systems for image formation, and complementary accessory components. It extends to analogous imaging technologies employing non-optical waves (such as X-rays, electron beams, or other radiation), provided they serve analogous functions to optical photography. Related specialized areas like cinematography, electrography, and holography are classified separately within G03.
