Photographic Plate

Photographic plates are a type of photographic medium used in traditional film photography. They are flat, rigid sheets made of glass or plastic coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. Photographic plates were widely used before the advent of modern digital cameras.

Photographic plates are sensitive to light and can capture images when exposed to it. They are typically used in large format cameras and are known for their high resolution and ability to capture fine details. However, they require a longer exposure time compared to other photographic mediums.

In the context of the supply class "Photographic Supplies" and the supply group "Photographic Equipment," photographic plates would be one of the products or items available for purchase. They are essential for photographers who prefer to work with traditional film photography or for those who require the unique characteristics and qualities offered by photographic plates.
