Data Sheet—2 Copyright, Eastman Kodak Company, 1999 TI2497 Issued 11-99 SO-302 sensitometry (characteristic curve) is different than 5302/SO-434. The gamma is slightly lower resulting from an efficient anti-halation layer which reduces light scatter. This antihalation layer is located under the emulsion layers, using a patented solid particle dye that decolorizes and is removed during processing. This dye offers superior protection against halation (exposure by light reflected back from

In the graph identified as TI2497F, "NET FOG" is defined as D-min minus base density. The graph shows emulsion "fog" in density versus increasing development times through the ascorbic acid (AA)
