In spite of the current excitement and novely of magnetic, i.e., diskette, tape and 'solid-state' imaging techniques, photographic film still provides the highest resolution and most beautiful images of any imaging medium. This book systematically describes the theory and mechanisms of photographic sensitivity, with topics stressing the understanding the characteristics of silver halide photography. The topics include the structure and preparation of silver halide grains, physical properties of silver halides, mechanisms of latent image formation, spectral sensitization, chemical sensitization and stabilization, photograhic development, and the future prospect. This book is based on the author's knowledge, gained by 30 years' experience in the field. The audience ranges from chemists and physicists who work with silver halide imaging techniques, to those working in solid-state imaging, who need to compare their work with that of silver halide experts.

"Many years have passed since the publication of texts on the physical chemical aspects of photography ... Now Tadaaki Tani fills this need with a brief, but up-to-date and authoritative book. ... Photographic phenomena are discussed and interpreted from a molecular or 'microscopic' point of view, invoking modern concepts of grain crystal structure, solid state behavior, surface science, and electron transfer. ... In the first part of the book, the properties
of silver halide photographic materials are discussed, with comparison, when appropriate, to electronic photography. Then the mechanism of latent image formation is discussed. Next, sensitization ... is
covered. These topics are followed by discussion of theories of development--amplification of the latent image. Tani ... shows where improvements can be made in emulsion preparation and in photographic processing. Obviously this book will aid the scientists who hope to make these improvements."--Journal of the American Chemical Society
