1. Cameras serve a wide variety of uses in the world of espionage. Describe two examples of how photographic technology may be used by a spy. Include a description of the technology, how and why it’s used, and how it differs from the sort of photography used by the average citizen.
Blacklight camera: a camera that can take photos under low light conditions, either from cover, for surveillance purposes, or inside installations where light would be noticed and reported, or investigated. Extremely useful for copying documents that must remain in situ and can not be seen to be disturbed.
Concealed, miniatured camera: one that can be worn as an item of jewelry, or small accessory, and thus allow for public photos to be taken inobstrusively in situations where the target would avoid being captured on camera. Also useful for reproducing documents that would not be permitted to be copied under any circumstances.
4. X-Ray Glasses are used by spies to ascertain the presence of concealed weapons. Describe another way in which a pair of glasses might be adapted for use in espionage.
Aside from the obvious disguise possibilities, some glasses can be adapted to see different patterns and shadings. Some of these are used by professional gamblers to see hidden markings on cards; messages could be left for fellow agents which would only be visible to the correct wavelength of lenses. There is a risk here, but together with a code, messages might be passes in public without being detacted.
