An investigation of the competition between surface/internal latent-image formation in AgBr core-shell emulsions

The models for surface/internal latent-image formation by J.F. Hamilton and others were qualitatively investigated. Techniques were also developed to precipitate core-shell emulsions. Although the emulsion precipitation system employed was not highly stable, the major aspects of surface/internal latent-image competition were successfully demonstrated. It was found that the level of surface/internal latent-image competition has a significant effect on the photographic response of core-shell emulsions.
