Tubes analyseurs et tubes récepteurs [...] La cible se présente sous la forme d’une plaque rectangulaire; c'est une feuille de mica [...] dont la face arrière est recouverte d’une pellicule d’argent d’épaisseur uniforme(plaque-signal) tandis que sur la face avant se trouve une couche de globules photoélectriques, électriquement isolés les uns des autres(mosaïque). Pour former ces éléments photoélectriques, la plaque est tout d’abord argentée uniformément, puis elle subit un craquelage par étuvage avant d’être placée dans l'ampoule. Ensuite, tandis que le vide est fait, l'argent est légèrement oxydé en même temps qu'une couche monomoléculaire de césium est projetée sur lui. [...] La plaque-signal étant séparée des globules par un diélectrique, chacun d’eux forme un condensateur élémentaire avec cette plaque-signal. 1, record 4, French, - plaque%2Dsignal

Réaction chimique se traduisant par un transfert d’électrons. Toute oxydation va de pair avec une réduction. Un exemple classique en photographie en est le développement au cours duquel les sels d’argent sont réduits en argent métallique. Les électrons nécessaires sont cédés par la substance développatrice qui s’oxyde. 1, record 6, French, - oxydation
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les révélateurs sont en principe des réducteurs dont l’action est neutralisée par l’oxydation. En raison de l’oxydation, par l’oxygène de l’air par exemple, il est impossible de conserver longtemps un révélateur. La substance développatrice se combine à l’oxygène et perd sa capacité de réaction (c’est pourquoi il faut toujours remplir à ras bord les bouteilles dans lesquelles on conserve les révélateurs). 1, record 6, French, - oxydation
