Photographic Sensitivity Theory and Mechanisms

Notwithstanding the current excitement surrounding cutting-edge magneticimaging techniques, photographic film still provides the highest resolution andmost beautiful images of any medium available. For the first time in nearlytwenty years, Photographic Sensitivity: Theory and Mechanisms offers anup-to-date, systematic description of the subject, stressing in particular thecharacteristics of silver halide photography. Topics range from how to preparesilver halide grains and latent image formation to spectral and chemicalsensitization to the future of silver halide photography. Based on the author'smore than thirty years' experience in the field, Photographic Sensitivity willappeal to a wide range of readers, including students, chemists, and physicistsworking with silver halide imaging techniques and solid state imaging.
