1. photographic plate

   A photographic plate is a flat piece of glass or metal coated with a light-sensitive material, typically used in older or traditional forms of photography. When exposed to light, the plate captures an inverted image that can be developed into a photograph. The method, popular from the 19th to the mid-20th century, has now been largely replaced by digital imaging technologies.

1. Photographic plate

   Photographic plates preceded photographic film as a target medium in photography. A light-sensitive emulsion of silver salts was applied to a glass plate. This form of photographic material largely faded from the consumer market in the early years of the 20th century, as more convenient and less fragile films were introduced. However, photographic plates were still in use by some photography businesses until the 1970s, and were in wide use by the professional astronomical community as late as the 1990s. Such plates respond to ~2% of light received. Glass plates were far superior to film for research-quality imaging because they were extremely stable and less likely to bend or distort, especially in large-format frames for wide-field imaging. Early plates used the very inconvenient wet collodion process which was replaced late in the 19th century by gelatin dry plates.
