Revitilisation of the Daguerreotype Process
Ackerman, Jan Luca ; PETERA, Jiří (advisor) ; BORÝSKOVÁ, Štěpánka (referee)
The aim of this research is to revitalize the daguerreotype process and prepare an applicable manual for the consistent preparation of quality daguerreotype plates for the further applied research of this photographic material.
Many (collecting) art and historical institutions have important holdings in this medium, and, with the presently increasing interest in photography, (and daguerreotypes in particular) and its history, daguerreotypes will be in need of professional evaluation and treatment more often.
Daguerreotypes are the oldest, least understood and most complex systems of the photographic medium to date, and currently there is no accepted method of cleaning to prevent further deterioration.
This research summarizes a brief history of the daguerreotype, past and current conservation practices, current preventative care, and most importantly, a method of creating reliable test material to study this phenomenon.

What a comparison of the basic principles, techniques and the use of photographic chips
Pelech, Lukáš ; Stecker, Martin (advisor) ; Petera, Jiří (referee)
Final thesis deals with mapping, explanation and compare digital technologies used by photography. Exceptionality and uniqueness of my thesis is especially leaned on untraditional approach to the whole topic. The majority of comparing of those technologies is based on numbers which are understandable only to mathematician, but not to photographers. This thesis is aimed at answering questions connected with digital chips and compare technologies not only according to technical parameters but especially according to visual examples.
Aim of this work is describing market with digital technique, types of sensors, comparing technical and visual quality. This work could be useful for casual users and understandable for each professional photographer or students of photographic school.
