Abstract
Abstract An O-epoxyalklyated tetrakis (hydroxyphenyl) alkane resin or the esterified reaction product of about one equivalent thereof with less than one equivalent of an ethylentically unsaturated organic acid can be combined with an aqueous alkali- and radiation sensitive, negative acting substance which when coated on a substrate forms a radiation sensitive negative working element.
