The Ural Branch of VNIKhFI has been active in research on analytical 
control methods, such as paper chromatography, conductometry, and polar- 
ography. 
The Institute offers graduate work in organic synthesis and also 
grants the Candidate's Degree.

Description: 
Organized in Moscow in 1929, the Institute has branches in Kazan'* 
and Shostka, and offers undergraduate and graduate-level training to 
students following careers in the photographic industry. Both the Candidate's 
and Doctor's Degrees are granted, and Trudy are frequently published by the 
technical staff. Academic programs are complemented by extensive research 
in theoretical and applied photography, and in related disciplines. The 
major interest of the Institute appears to be emulsion technology, although 
much emphasis is given to high-speed photography, cinema apparatus, electro- 
photography, electronics (including magnetic-recording techniques), and 
stereophotography and photogrammetry. Recent research in emulsion chemistry 
indicates interest in nuclear emulsions, dye and radiochemistry, polymer 
studies, and aging characteristics of all types of film. Some work has also 
been done in acoustics and the effect of ultrasonics on emulsification 
properties of materials.
