A study is made of the effect of bismuth on the latent image formation and the development process in silver bromide. Single crystals of silver bromide are used, on the surface of which bismuth is deposited by vacuum evaporation. Elementary bismuth is found to catalyze the process of development, being even more active than silver in this respect. Mixed nuclei of silver and bismuth are shown to be more active than either of the individual metals. Bismuth ions applied to the surface of the silver bromide crystals are found to prevent the process of development, as well as to hinder the formation of the latent image.
