Abstract
AgBr microcrystals from different photographic emulsions were precipitated on a glass substrate and investigated by means of atomic force microscopy. Size and form of individual crystals were determined; on their surfaces, microstructures as well as nanostructures were resolved. Apart from orientated growth hills, we found a superstructure with a period of 5 to 6 nm on the top surfaces of tabular AgBr microcrystals.
