Abstract
IN a communication to NATURE1 entitled "Mechanism of Optical Sensitizing of Silver Halides by Dyes", We described briefly some experimental results showing that sensitizing dyes adsorbed to silver halides produce by absorption of light in their own absorption bands decomposition of the silver halide into metallic silver and free halogen. In the presence of adequate halogen acceptors, the dye remains chemically unchanged.
