Abstract
Abstract A method for forming an image by radiation, which comprises: A. CLOSELY CONTACTING A PHOTOGRAPHIC LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL HAVING A SILVER HALIDE EMULSION LAYER ON ONLY ONE SIDE OF A SUPPORT THEREOF WITH A FLUORESCENT INTENSIFYING SCREEN, AND B. SUBSEQUENTLY SUBJECTING THE LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL TO THE STEPS OF: C. RADIATION D. DEVELOPMENT E. FIXATION, AND F. INTENSIFICATION, SAID RESULTING COMBINATION CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE EMULSION SURFACE AND FLUORESCENT SURFACE ARE FACING EACH OTHER.
