Camera speed color film with base side micro-lenses

A light sensitive photographic element suitable for image capture followed by machine reading, said element comprising in spooled form a two-sided support

• (a) having disposed on one side of said support a red light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, a green light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, and a blue light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, and
• (b) having disposed on the opposing side of said support a micro-lens array comprising lenses having a full or partial spherical shape located and sized to be sufficient to concentrate the camera focused image light incident on an area of a micro-lens onto a smaller area of the emulsion layer units.

A light sensitive photographic element exhibiting a sensitivity of at least ISO-25 and being suitable for image capture followed by machine reading, said element comprising in spooled form a two-sided support

• (a) having disposed on one side of said support a red light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, a green light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, and a blue light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, and
• (b) having disposed on the opposing side of said support a convergent micro-lens array located and sized to be sufficient to concentrate the image light incident on an area of a micro-lens onto a smaller area of the emulsion layer units;
• whereby the sensitivity of the film is increased compared to the same film without the array.

A light sensitive photographic element suitable for image capture followed by machine reading to produce a single perspective two-dimensional color image, said element comprising a two-sided support

• (a) having disposed on one side of said support a red light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, a green light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, and a blue light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer unit, and
• (b) having disposed on the opposing side of said support a convergent micro-lens array located and sized to be sufficient to concentrate the image light of a single perspective of an image incident on an area of a micro-lens onto a smaller area of the emulsion layer units,
• wherein the material that comprises the micro-lenses is selected so that the shape of the lenses is altered by photo-processing.
