Dundon and Ballard73 showed that when a bromo- iodide emulsion is developed, the iodide released by the development of a grain causes the conversion of some of the silver bromide in neighboring grains to silver iodide.

The sensitive material comprised silver iodide, deposited on a polished silver plated copper base. A positive image was produced by camera exposure and mercury "development", which turned light struck halides gray white.

A chemical compound of silver (usually silver bromide, silver chloride and silver iodide) used as the light-sensitive constituent (emulsion) in films.

Invented by W.H. Fox Talbot in 1839. Paper was coated with silver iodide and a solution of silver nitrate and gallic acid. Following exposure the paper was developed in a silver nitrate solution.
