What is another word for dry plate?
Pronunciation: [dɹˈa͡ɪ plˈe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Dry plate was a popular photographic method in the early days of photography that involved coating a glass plate with a light-sensitive emulsion and allowing it to dry before use. To describe this process, there are various synonyms available, like "gelatine plate," "collodion plate," or simply "photographic plate." These terms highlight different aspects of the method, such as the use of gelatin as a binder, the use of collodion as a coating material, or the photographic quality of the finished plate. With the advent of digital photography, dry plate photography has become rare, but its historical significance and enduring beauty continue to inspire photographers today.
