The latent image is the invisible change that light produces in a photographic emulsion at the moment of exposure, before any development: a few silver atoms accumulate at sensitivity sites on each struck silver-halide grain, an image that exists but cannot yet be seen. Gurney and Mott's 1938 The theory of the photolysis of silver bromide and the photographic latent image explained its formation as photoelectrons being trapped and then neutralising mobile silver ions into these specks. The referent is this sub-microscopic, pre-development record of exposure, which development later amplifies into visible metallic silver by reducing the whole grain at a latent-image speck.[1]
