New applications of silver halide photo-materials

Abstract

A review of the high-resolution VRP Silver Halide photo-materials (available through the Geola international distribution network) is presented. In addition to traditional holographic applications, the behaviour of current VRP materials is discussed in relation to embossed mastering origination, masks for microelectronics and X-ray tomography. Properties and applications of the fine grain, blue-green sensitive VRP plates are compared with previously available materials from other manufacturers. Recommended chemistries that may be employed with the VRP emulsion in different applications are reviewed.
