The inventor of silver disk photography is

The inventor of silver plate photography is louis Daguerre.

Daguerre, a Frenchman, was invented by1839,65438+/kloc-0 on October 7th, and used around 1860. This method of photography is named after the silver plate photography, so it is also called the silver plate photography.

Silver plate photography is named after French painter and inventor louis Daguerre (1787- 185 1), who invented this method in 1839. Daguerre cooperated with the French inventor Joseph Nessef Niepce (1765- 1833) to improve the photography technology.

The silver plate method is considered as the first valuable photographic method in the world. Silver plate photography was born on the basis of a series of scientific and technological achievements such as the discovery of pinhole imaging, the discovery of lens black box and the discovery of silver chloride.

The working principle of silver plate photography;

This is a special kind of silver plate, coated with a thin layer of silver, and then immersed in silver nitrate and silver halide solution to form a photosensitive emulsion. When shooting, the emulsion is exposed and a latent image is formed through photochemical reaction. Then, mercury vapor is used for development, thereby converting the latent image into a visible image.

Finally, through the fixing process, the image is fixed with salt water. This method can obtain a very clear and lasting metal positive image. Therefore, silverplate photography is a kind of photography technology based on photochemical reaction, which has high quality and high stability.

This method was a revolutionary technology at that time, which laid a solid foundation for the development of photography. Although there are more advanced photography techniques, silver plate photography is still used and studied by some artists and photographers.
