Abstract
A new non-silver halide imaging material is proposed. The light sensitive element within the material generates free radicals upon exposure, through a fragmentation process. The free radicals, which can be generated imagewise, are then used as a catalyst to promote the reduction of an image forming element. The image forming element is a stabilized, soluble, metal salt which is chelated rendering it unaccessible for reduction by the atmosphere. The film matrix is virtually grain-free as is the final image, with some dependence on the binder and amplification process employed.
