This, or something like, must be the explanation. The silver iodide-bromide layer is far too thin for an interference effect. It might also be a plasmon-polaritron effect which one might argue is the same thing. --- Original Message --- On Sunday, November 27th, 2022 at 9:08 PM, Robin

This effect was studied extensively thoughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, but in another field. Early researchers in photography noted the same effect and more in their experiments with Daguerrotype plates. A purposely over-exposed plate would turn very dark. If the plate was covered with
