Photographic plate

ID: photographic-plate

A photographic plate is an early medium used for capturing images, primarily in photography before the advent of modern film. It consists of a glass or metal plate coated with a light-sensitive material, usually a silver halide emulsion. When exposed to light, the emulsion undergoes a chemical change that creates a latent image, which can then be developed into a visible photograph through various chemical processing techniques.
