1. solarization

   The Sabatier effect, also known as pseudo-solarization (or pseudo-solarisation) and erroneously referred to as the Sabattier effect, is a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a negative or on a photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light or light areas appear dark. Solarization and pseudo-solarization are quite distinct effects. Over time, the "pseudo" has been dropped in many photographic darkroom circles and discussions, but the effect that is meant is the Sabattier effect and not the solarization by extreme overexposure (see below).

1. solarization

   Solarization is a process or phenomenon in both photography and agriculture. 1) In photography, it refers to a technique in which the image recorded on a photographic film or paper is wholly or partially reversed in tone. It is a process where dark areas appear light and light areas appear dark, leading to a surreal effect. This effect is created by exposing the film or photographic paper to light during the development process. 2) In agriculture, solarization is a method of controlling disease pathogens and pests in the soil by covering it with clear plastic sheets and letting it be heated by the sun. This process is used to disinfect the soil before planting crops. It can help to kill a wide range of soil-borne pests such as fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and weed seeds.

1. Solarization

   Solarization refers to a phenomenon in physics where a material undergoes a temporary change in color after being subjected to high energy electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet light or X-rays. Clear glass and many plastics will turn amber, green or other colors when subjected to X-radiation, and glass may turn blue after long term solar exposure in the desert. It is believed that solarization is caused by the formation of internal defects, called color centers, which selectively absorb portions of the visible light spectrum. In glass, color center absorption can often be reversed by heating the glass to high temperatures to restore the glass to its initial transparent state. Solarization may also permanently degrade a material's physical or mechanical properties, and is one of the mechanisms involved in the breakdown of plastics within the environment.
