Description
A clear silicate glass that will form permanent 3-dimensional photographic images when subjected to x-rays or ultraviolet light. Photosensitive glass contains submicroscopic metallic particles (Brady 1971). The high energy causes the particles to precipitate out of solution. The image is fixed by heating the glass to 540 C.
