Abstract

A density measuring device for easily and quickly measuring the optical densities of original pictures which is characterized in that an original picture is scanned by a scanning device to obtain electrical signals of the original picture, the signals are then converted into secondary electrical signals corresponding to the optical density of the original picture by means of a logarithmic converting circuit, calibration signals generated by a calibration signal generator are added to the secondary electrical signals, and thus obtained combined signals are displayed on a wave-form monitor.
