Photographie en couleurs basée sur l'enregistrement de motifs interférentiels à l'intérieur de la couche photographique. L'exposition s'effectue à travers la base et la lumière chemine à partir d'un miroir qui est en relation optique avec la surface de l'émulsion.

OBS

Après le traitement, les cristaux argentiques reposent dans les régions correspondant aux interférences et lorsque le phototype est bien visionné, il est possible d'y décerner une simulation chromogène de la scène. Ce procédé s'appelle également photographie interférentielle.
