Summary
Notwithstanding the current excitement surrounding cutting-edge digital imaging techniques, photographic film still provides the highest resolution and most beautiful images of any medium available. For the first time in nearly 20 years, Photographic Sensitivity: Theory and Mechanisms offers a comprehensive, systematic description of the subject, stressing in particular the characteristics of silver halide photography. Topics range from how to preparesilver halide grains and latent image formation to spectral and chemical sensitization to the future of silver halide photography. Based on the author’s more than 30 years’ experience in the field, PhotographicSensitivity will appeal to a wide range of readers, including students, chemists, and physicists working with silver halide imaging techniques and solid state imaging.

Critics Review
“I can unconditionally recommend this excellent review on the present state of the art of sliver halide photography to all those who are interested in the science and technology …” – Journal of Imaging Science Technology”I can unconditionally recommend this excellent review on the present state of the art of sliver halide photography to all those who are interested in the science and technology …” – Journal of Imaging Science Technology”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 propertiesof silver halide photographic materials are discussed, with comparison, when appropriate, to electronic photography. Then the mechanism of latent image formation is discussed. Next, sensitization … iscovered. 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
