Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for the direct pro-- duction of positive photographic images and to photographic material used for such a process.
- Silver bromide at the nonexposed areas is not reduced by the developer. No bromide ions are formed at these areas, so that reduction of the silver chloride proceeds smoothly. At the exposed areas, therefore, only as much silver is formed as corresponds to the reduced bromide; as only very small amounts of silver are concerned, slight blackening only which is scarcely visible is produced, i. e. these areas after processing are practically white if the light-sensitive layer was cast onto paper, or they are transparent if the layer was cast onto a transparent base. At the non-exposed areas, however, silver chloride representing the chief constituent of the layers is reduced, so that these areas show a very deep blackening. So the exposed areas of these layers remain light whereas the non-exposed ones become dark, i. e.
- a direct positive image of the object is obtained by one process.
- the developed images In order to remove the non-developed silver halide, the developed images have still to be fixed, washed and dried. it is also feasible to modify the process in such a manner that negative silver is removed by using known reducers so that positive silver only is left; This method allows one to obtain direct positives with excellent whites.
- the proportion of silver chloride to silver bromide depends on the kind of emulsions used and lies in the range of between 0.1-10 grams of silver bromide to 100 grams of silver chloride.
- the preparation of these emulsion layers can also be performed in such a manner that Z,'ZlZ,995 Patented July 12, 1955 by the addition of small amounts of potassium bromide or potassium iodide to a silver chloride emulsion such direct positives yielding layers are obtained.
- the process is not limited to mixtures of silver chloride and silver bromide.
- silver chloride As low sensitive silver salts, besides silver chloride, also other silver salts, such as silver oxalate, silver stearate, silver ferrocyanide etc., can be used, in which case silver chloride may find application as the higher sensitive component.
- higher sensitive silver salts besides silver bromide, also silver iodide may be used. It is an essential feature of the new process that the emulsion used in a small amount exhibits a higher sensitivity to light and a lower solubility in the photographic developers used than the less sensitive component. The process can also be modified in such a maner that the less sensitive and higher sensitive components of the mixture consists of mixtures of silver salt emulsions of different gradations.
- composition of the developer has a considerable influence on the aforesaid process.
- These solutions are to develop the higher sensitive emulsion before the silver chloride is dissolved and reduced.
- the same chemicals are generally used which find application for the usual photographic processes, however, without potassium bromide that, for instance, for the silver chloride-silver bromide system can be replaced by sodium chloride.
- a silver halide solvent for instance, sodium sulfite
- the silver halide dissolving effect of alkaline sulfite solutions can be increased by the addition of known compounds, for instance, sodium thiosulfate, organic amines etc.
- the developers employed for linegrain development for instance, p-phenylene diamine and derivatives thereof, possess a sufficiently strong dissolving power of silver chloride and other silver salts so that when using such substances the addition of further silver halide solvents can sometimes be dispensed with.
- the process for the production of direct positive images according to the present invention shows the ad vantage that processing can be performed in the same way as in the case of a usual negative process without any additional processing steps. If the developer is appropriately composed development proceeds extraordinarily fast that being of advantage, for instance, for automatic, photographic processes. The fact that the silver separated from the dissolved silver chloride is highly fine grained and opaque allows one to produce especially thin reverse layers with a very small amount of silver.
- V new process is also of great importance for X-ray photography.
- the sensitivity of the aforesaid reactions is extraordinarily high so that already such actions of light as cause only a scarcely visible blackening upon the usual negative layers yield a distinct positive.
- Silver images obtained according to the present invention may be subjected to any after-treatment known in photography, for instance, intensification, reduction, toning etc. They may also be used for the contact hardening process and other processes known in the art. It is also feasible to modify the process in such a manner that the ditferently sensitive emulsions are cast in separate layers and the multilayer materials are worked up into direct positives by means of the above described developers.
- Example 1 To a silver chloride emulsion prepared according to known methods are added per litre cc. of a silver bromide emulsion the sensitivity of which being about twice or three times as high as that of the silver chloride emulsion, and 0.1 gram of colloidal silver. The mixture of emulsions is cast as usual onto paper, film or glass, the silver content of the layer amounting to about 1 gram of silver per square meter. After exposure de velopment is performed in the following solution:
- Example 2 To a silver chloride emulsion prepared according to known processing methods are added per litre cc. of a silverbromide emulsion the sensitivity of which being a hundred times higher than that of the silver chloride emulsion, and 0.3 gram of colloidal gold. The mixture of these emulsions is applied in such a thin layer that the silver coating amounts to about 0.5 gram per square meter only. These layers can be hardened by adding formalin or other known substances and coated with a protective layer of gelatin to which, ifdesired, some colloidal silver is added. Development of this layer is carried out in the following solution:
- Example 3 To a silver chlorideemulsion of very low speed produced according to known recipes are added 500 cc. of a silver chloride-bromide emulsion of low sensitivity which has orthochromatically been sensitized with known dyestufls, and 0.1 gram of colloidal silver. This emulsion is applied to paper as usual and developing is carried out in the following solution:
- Example 4 Water cc 1000 p-Phenylenediamine "grams 3 Soda do 5 Sodium sulfite anhydrous do 1 Temperature C 18 Developing time about 24 minutes.
- Example 5 To 1000 parts of an emulsion of silver ferrocyanide obtained by precipitating a silver nitrate solution with an equivalent amount of potassium ferrocyanide in the presence of gelatin, which exhibits only a very low light sensitivity, are added per litre 20. cc. of a silver chloride emulsion and 0.3 gram of colloidal silver. These layers directly yield a positive on developing in the following solution:
- the present invention for the production of direct positive images is not only suited for the processing methods as described in the Examples l-6 but may generally be employed wherever the production of photographic positives or duplicate-negatives is required.
- gelatin has been used as a binder
- the new process has proved to be especially suitable for the direct production of photographic positive images when using other binding agents than gelatin. It is known that high sensitive silver bromide emulsions cannot easily be obtained in other binding agents other than gelatin, for instance, in synthetic high molecular products. On the other hand, however, it is comparatively easy to produce silver chloride emulsions or other silver salt emulsions of comparatively low sensitivity by means of such binding agents.
- a high sensitive silver bromide emulsion prepared as known in the art by means of gelatin as binding agent can be added to a silver chloride emulsion precipitated in any synthetic high molecular compound which is suited for photographic processes, for instance, sericose, polyvinyl alcohol etc.
- the gelatin containing emulsion is preferably diluted with water or with another solvent, for instance, acetone-water-mixture.
- Such layers give sensitivities which are essentially higher than those of the hitherto known emulsions on the base of the non-gelatinous binding agent. If emulsions of lower sensitivity are to be obtained it may be of advantage to precipitate also the higher sensitive emulsions, for instance, the silver bromide emulsion in another binding agent.
- the following example serves for illustrating this process:
- emulsions are cast in the usual manner in superposed layers, interposing a yellow filter between the upper, only blue-sensitive layer and the lower greenand red-sensitive layers.
- these layers are treated in a developer containing, for instance, p-phenylene diamine or its derivatives which, with the color couplers contained in the layers, yields a dyestuff.
- p-phenylene diamine or its derivatives which, with the color couplers contained in the layers, yields a dyestuff.
- These substances have the property to dissolve silver chloride to a considerable extent so that only very small amounts of sodium sulfite need to be added to these developers in order to initiate a direct positive development.
- the color-forming developer reduces the exposed silver bromide, bromide ions being set free thereby.
- the weak negative resulting from the silver bromide consists of silver only and contains no dyestulf.
- reduction of silver chloride which is present in much bigger quantities is essentially due to the color-forming developer the oxidation product of'which gives the dyestuffs desired with the color couplers.
- After developing and intermediately Washing the small amounts of negative silver and the larger amounts of silver formed by the reduction of silver chlorideare dissolved by means of known products, for instance, potassium ferricyanide or converted into silver salt which are removed by subsequent fixations.
- the process is suited for the production of high sensitive, negative as well as positive photographic material. The following example shall further illustrate this process.
- Example 9 To a silver chloride emulsion prepared as known in the art are added per litre 0.1 gram of colloidal silver and 12 cc. of'a higher sensitive silver bromide emulsion which is sensitized with known dyestuffs for the redor green-sensitive layer respectively.
- CHa-N- 11 a5 SOsH is first coated onto paper, glass or film. Upon this layer there is coated the corresponding green-sensitive emulsion mixture to which are added as a purple color coupler per litre 20 grams of a compound of the following formula:
- H2C-CC11H35 O L N
- salt developing solution containing as solvent an agent 7 which has a higher dissolving power for the lower than for the higher light sensitive silver salt and containing salts having the same anions as those of said higher light sensitive silver salt at most in such a quantity that the reduction of said spontaneously developable silver 'salt emulsion is not prevented until the developing solution forms an extremely faint negative image in the silver halide emulsion, and forms a conspicuous positive image in the spontaneously developable emulsion, the non-metallic by-products from the faint negative image effectively inhibiting the spontaneous development of a conspicuous positive image in the spontaneously developable emulsion in those areas having the negative image whereby a conspicuous direct positive image is developed.
- the spontaneously developable silver salt emulsion contains substances selected from the group of reduction nuclei and substances forming reduction nuclei with dissolved silver salts.
- the silver salts of the spontaneously developable emulsion consist mainly of silver chloride and those of the light sensitive emulsion mainly of silver bromide.
- reduction nuclei are substances selected from at least one of the group of colloidal noble metals and noble metal compounds diflicultly soluble in water.
