This article reviews recent studies that have revealed much new information about tructure and morphology of the interface formed between silver halide and silver carboxylate phases during fabrication of thermally developable photographic materials (TDPM). This information has proved relevant not only to understanding how latent images may form in TDPM, but has also revealed that morphological features of the interface may govern the course of the development reaction as well.
