A Comparison of the Crystallographic and Photographic Properties of Bromo-Iodide Emulsion Grains

Part of this work was presented in a paper at the International Colloquium on “The Science of Photography”. 23-28 September 1963, in Turin.

Abstract

A range of commercial bromo-iodide X-ray emulsions has been examined by an X-ray diffraction line-broadening technique. The emulsion grains of this type are in general very imperfect and large structural differences exist between the fifteen materials examined. There was no correlation between these crystallographic differences and selected photographic properties, thought likely to be dependent upon structure.
