Intensification of the Latent Photographic Image produced by Beta-Rays

Abstract

IT is known that a latent image produced by a brief exposure to light can be intensified by a post-exposure to light of low intensity. This fact can be explained by assuming the production of a non-developable latent sub-image in addition to the normal latent image which can be developed. The latent sub-image can be converted to a developable latent image by a carefully controlled post-exposure to light of low intensity.
