silver halide

The image is then made permanent by treatment in a photographic fixer, which removes the remaining light sensitive silver halides.

Wherever the light strikes the paper the silver halides form small specks of silver metal on their surface.

If not developed properly, small amounts of silver halide remaining in the gelatin will darken when exposed to light.

The silver halide used affects the paper's sensitivity and the image tone of the resulting print.

The silver halide is actually being 'peptized' by the gelatin.

In its most basic form, color film has three layers of silver halide, each sensitive to red, green or blue light.

Gum printing is a way of making photographic reproductions without the use of silver halides.

When the media is developed, the silver halides which have been exposed to light are reduced to metallic silver, forming an image.

Chemical photography, a 150-year-old system based on silver halides, is unmatched for detail, sharpness and depth of color.

Without fixing, the remaining silver halide would quickly darken and cause fogging of the image.
