until celluloid was invented Glass plates were used because it was the only way to suspend the emulsion evenly and allowed light to pass through. It was easier to handle.
Some glass plates were large and were put into contact with paper to create a positive image. Chemistry was used to convert the silver halides in the emulsion to visible black metallic silver halides. When light was shone through the glass the black metallic silver halides stopped the light and the paper was exposed where the light pass by the halides. This caused the material being exposed to show a positive image.

What is a photo plate?
A photo plate is usually a glass, or metal plate, coated with light sensitive chemicals. Until used it was kept in the dark. It was placed in the camera and exposed to the light of the scene, then removed, and stored in the dark, until it could again be chemically treated to reveal and fix the image on the plate. The glass plates produced images that could later be used to produce a copy of the image printed on paper by shining a light through them. Metal plates produced the image on the plate itself. They could be the end result, or be used in specific printing techniques to make copies in a printing press. The metal and glass plates were replaced by plastic film, and now the film has been replaced with electronic sensors. Even the term photo plate has been replaced with the term photo mask.
Where can someone purchase glass plates?
Glass plates as tableware can be purchased from most home goods store, such as Bed Bath and Beyond, IKEA, or Murano. Glass plates as a form of glass sheeting can be purchased from shops specializing in glass production, forming, and cutting, such as Behrenberg Glass.
Why do we keep chemicals in glass bottles?
Because glass is mostly inert, that is most chemicals don't attack it.
How has lithium been used in the past?
Lithium has been used historically in medications to treat various psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder. It has also been used in early photography as a component of some photographic plates. Additionally, lithium has been used in pyrotechnics and as a colorant for ceramics and glass.
Does pyrex hold on to caustic chemicals?
Pyrex is borosilicate glass and like all glass does not absorb any chemicals.
How long did it take to make the invent first colered film?
Are you asking about film used for still photography, or 'film' as in 'movies'? The first flexible film (as opposed to glass plates) for still photography was around in the 1930s, there was a colour movie system demonstrated in the 1920s. Neither was very true to life.
What is the commercial value of Uranium?
Uranium provides the fissile material for nuclear weapons, is a colorant in uranium glass (produces orange-red and yellow hues), and was used in early photography.
Can you put plastic plates in the microwave for heating food?
No, it is not safe to put plastic plates in the microwave for heating food as they can melt or release harmful chemicals into the food. It is recommended to use microwave-safe dishes made of glass or ceramic for heating food in the microwave.
What are the advantages of dry photography?
Before dry plate Photography (which was like film photography but the emulsion was coated on glass), there was wet plate photography. Wet plate photography required the photographer to coat a glass plate with emulsion, make a photograph, and develop the picture before the emulsion dried. If you wanted to take pictures, you had to take a darkroom with you. When dry plates came out, you could wait till you got home to develop them.Then along came one George Eastman, who invented flexible film. Film is much more convenient than glass plates - it's lighter and it won't break if you drop it - so it rightly should have killed the dry plate. And for most purposes it did - but NOT for pro astronomy! Big telescopes mount their cameras so the film is laying flat, and they get left outside in the cold all night to image the night sky. Film sags in the middle in these cameras and it expands and contracts with temperature. Plates are better for making astrophotographs than film is, so until the observatories went digital Kodak maintained a plate coating line, and once a year they'd fire it up and make enough plates to fill the needs of science.
What is Avon ruby glass?
I believe that you are referring to the 1876 Cape Cod Collection that Avon produced some years ago. This was a collection that consisted of wine goblets, mugs, dinner plates, dessert plates, candleholders, and other pieces. It was made of early American pressed glass also known as "Sandwich Glass." It was a ruby red color. I hope that this answers your question.
Why didnt mapmakers in the 1800s make use of aerial photography?
Airplanes weren't invented until 1903, so the 1800's is too early. In the civil war hot air ballons were used for the first aerial reconnaissance. Photography was also just invented in 1830 and the camera used was VERY big and heavy. It stood on a tripod with a glass plate for the negative and to develop the photo took some very toxic chemicals and the picture was either on glass, cardboard, or tin. The first photos taken of war was in the civil war by Mathew Brady.
Who invented the non reflective glass?
The invention of non-reflective glass is attributed to the German scientist Otto Schott in the early 20th century. He pioneered the development of special glass compositions that helped reduce glare and reflection. This type of glass is commonly used in photography and display cases to enhance visibility.
