THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COUPLING KINETICS AND THE NOISE PROPERTIES OF COLOR NEGATIVE FILMS .2. COUPLER REACTIVITY, DYE CLOUD MORPHOLOGY AND NOISE POWER SPECTRUM

The kinetic theory of dye formation was combined with existing models of colour film noise to study the impact of coupler reactivity, concen tration and equivalency on the spatial characteristics of model layers , i.e. noise power spectra, density profiles and sizes of dye clouds a nd dye modulation transfer functions. Good agreement was observed betw een the theoretical calculations of these quantities and measurements carried out on single layer colour films with monodisperse emulsions.
