A latent image is an invisible image produced by the exposure to light of a photosensitive material such as photographic film. When photographic film is developed, the area that was exposed darkens and forms a visible image.
latent image, in photography, the invisible configuration of silver halide crystals on a piece of film after exposure to image-bearing focussed light; it is distinguishable from unexposed silver halide only by its ability to be reduced to metallic silver by a developing agent.

Jul 3, 2021 · Below I look at the first mechanism in the three phase process that constitutes image formation: the latent image phase. In the next post I will look at the other two phases: silver image and, finally, fixed image phases (stabilising it from further change) in line with the following schematic.
Feb 27, 2016 · The primary function of developing is to convert the latent image into a manifest, or visible, image. The purpose of the developing or reducing agents is to reduce exposed silver halide to metallic silver and to add electrons to exposed silver halide.
May 25, 2021 · In this paper, we present new methods and equations for VIA latent image determination in photolithography that are suitable for broad-spectrum exposure and negate the need for complex and...

Feb 27, 2013 · It is the free atomic silver that we refer to as the latent image. In the emulsion there are thousands of randomly distributed silver bromide crystals or grains. These are the pixels of analogue photography. Where light struck the emulsion some of these grains now contain free silver.
Abstract. As shown in Fig. 3 in Chapter 1, the photographic process is composed of the capture of incident light by silver halide emulsion grains (sensing), formation of latent image centers on the silver halide grains (memory), and image formation by the catalytic action of the latent image centers for the reduction of silver halide grains to ...
