Factors Influencing the Response of Silver Iodide Emulsions

Abstract

AbstractContrary to the conclusions of previous authors, it is shown that silver iodide emulsions may be sulphur sensitized. Additional large increases of speed for exposures at moderate and low intensity may be achieved by bathing in water, solutions of halogen acceptors, or silver nitrate before exposure, or by coating at low pAg. In agreement with the observations of some authors, a silver iodide emulsion can form an internal image. In conformity with this capacity to form an internal image. the emulsion exhibits solarization.
