latent image

An invisible image typically of electrical charges. For example, in a copy machine, a latent image of the page to be copied is created on a plate or drum as an electrical charge.

latent image [′lāt·ənt ′im·ij]

(graphic arts)

An invisible image produced by the physical or chemical effects of light on the individual crystals (usually silver halide) of photographic emulsions; the development process makes the image visible, in the negative.

Photography Tips by jessie thomas / Arts, visual and performing community 1) Computed radiography (CR) was the product name for the first commercial device for making radiographs using the process of photostimulable luminescence (PSL), whereby X-ray energy projected onto a doped crystalline material--the photostimulable phosphor (PSP)--produces a latent image of excited electrons in local potential energy traps. Digital radiography: CR versus DR? Sometimes recognizing the ... by Willis, Charles E. / Applied Radiology He discovered that by exposing the silver first to iodine vapour, before exposure to light, and then to mercury fumes after the photograph was taken, a latent image could be formed and made visible.
