Scope note
Clear silicate glass that will form permanent three-dimensional color photographic images when subjected to x-rays or ultraviolet light through a negative. Photosensitive glass contains submicroscopic metallic particles; the high energy causes the particles to precipitate out of solution. The image is fixed by heating the glass to 540 C.
