Abstract:
This invention comprises a photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer in which the silver halide is sensitized with a compound of the formula X-H, wherein X is an electron donor moiety to which a base, B , is covalenty linked and H is a leaving hydrogen atom, and wherein: 1) X-H has an oxidation potential between 0 and about 1.4 V; and 2) the oxidized form of X-H undergoes deprotonation reaction with the base B , to give the radical X and the protonated base B-H. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the radical X has an oxidation potential
Abstract:
This invention provides a silver halide photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion comprising silver halide grains which have associated therewith at least an inner dye layer and an outer dye layer wherein the outer dye layer comprises a dye having at least one substituent that has a positive charge, said photographic element further comprising a cyanine dye of formula (I) or (II) (as described in the specification) that is capable of spectrally sensitizing a silver halide emulsion.
Abstract:
Chemical sensitization of silver halide photothermographic emulsions used in photothermographic elements, can be effected by the decomposition of sulfur containing compounds on or around the surface of the silver halide grains, usually under oxidizing conditions at elevated temperatures. Alignment of the sulfur containing compounds on the surface of the grains, can be accomplished with spectral sensitizing dyes and appears to be particularly effective in providing strong chemical sensitization effects.
Abstract:
A radiographic imaging assembly comprises a radiographic silver halide film and a single fluorescent intensifying screen that has protective overcoat that comprises a miscible blend of a first polymer that is poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-tetrafluoroethylene) and a second polymer that is a poly(alkyl acrylate or methacrylate). This imaging assembly is particularly useful for mammography or imaging or other soft tissues.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a photographic material comprising on a support a silver halide emulsion sensitized to light of wavelengths between 600 nm and 850 nm characterized in that said silver halide emulsion comprises a red sensitizing dye having a maximum absorption between 620 nm and 680 nm, an infrared sensitizing dye having a maximum absorption between 700 nm and 850 nm and a supersensitizing compound showing no substantial absorption in said wavelength range from 600 nm to 850 nm. The photographic material is suitable for use in the silver salt diffusion transfer process and can be used for making lithographic printing plates.
