THE EFFECT OF SILVER TRANSFER PROCESS UPON IMAGE QUALITY UNDER ITS INTENSIFICATION BY THE METHOD OF OXIDATING-REDUCING DISPERGATION

In the basis of the intensification process on AgHal materials by the silver dispergation method through its oxidating-reducing treatment, t here is a diffusional silver transfer in emulsion coating in the form of complex ions. It leads to an essential variation of image microstru cture, and consequently, to a change of image quality characteristics (resolving power, modulation-transfer function, mean-square granularit y, and signal-to-noise relation). It is shown that these characteristi cs can be regulated by the intensification conditions, and that there is the possibility to adjust the higher informativity of intensified i mage than after the standard chemical-photographic treatment.
