New photographic process that produced nickel image by exposing ammonium, lithium, lead, and nickel hypophosphite to electrons or x-radiation had been developed by LeRC scientists Dr. Warren H. Philipp, Dr. Charles E. May, and Stanley J. Marsik, Lewis News reported. Advantages were that nickel compound was cheaper and more abundant than silver used in standard photographic process and, because nickel compound was not sensitive to visible light, process eliminated need for darkroom or cassette containers for undeveloped film.
