Abstract
A radiation detecting element, particularly a photographic element having a radiation detecting composition, in particular a silver halide emulsion. The composition provides the element with a wavelength of peak sensitivity, .lambda.peaksens, and a decreasing sensitivity around .lambda.peaksens. An absorber dye of defined characteristics is chosen, which has the effect of decreasing the change in sensitivity which the element otherwise has without the absorber dye (that is, the absorber dye increases the wavelength range over which the sensitivity is relatively constant). The element is preferably sensitive to infra-red.
