Contribution to the Discussion of the Mechanism of Spectral Sensitization of Silver Halide

Abstract
Radicals identified as reduced dye molecules were E R spectroscopically detected after irradiation of spectrally sensitized silver halide. Now it is shown that a relation exists between the occurrence of these radicals and the photographic effect of the dyes. On this basis a mechanism of spectral sensitization is discussed in which also such phenomena as spectral bleaching, blue desensitization and environmental influences can be easily included.
