The present invention is in the field of photography and is used to measure the sensitometric characteristics of a photographic element, such as a photographic film strip. The present invention relates more particularly to an exposure system that enables the production of a sensitometric control patch and the measurement of the sensitometric characteristics of the photographic element. The exposure system comprises a light energy source servo connected to a management module of the exposure parameters. The exposure system enables the production on the exposed film strip of the unique sensitometric control patch, so that this sensitometric control patch includes gradient of exposure areas that enables all the sensitometric characteristics of the photographic film to be obtained.
An exposure system of a photographic element, the exposure system being adapted to enable a production of a calibration member on the photographic element to calibrate the photographic element, said calibration member comprising a latent image of a sensitometric control patch, and said sensitometric control patch comprising at least one gradient of exposure areas.
