This is the effect of Mie-scattering.
In normal black and white films
the whole spectrum of white light is absorbed
by the silver grain. The more silver of this kind
is in one area of the film, the less light comes
trough it; it´s darker than other sections of the
film! My film was forgotten for nealy 25 years.
The silver grain has been broken while this long
time. The very little fragments of this grain correspond
in there measurements to the wavelenght of one color
in white spectrum of light. For example: 700 nanometer
= red light. When white light hits this film; the
dwarfen grain fragments of silver absorb only the
shorter waves of the white light; green and blue,
with 600 and 500 Nm. To the red waves of light the
surface of the fragments have the effect of mirrors
and reflects this waves as long as they comes out
of the film; as red light. This work is highly artificial
by this effect, my first aim was only to test
the old film. It works by a real special way.
