Abstract: Nanostructure science and technology (nanotechnology)have exploded in the last decade and are expected many more in various areas in the future. Furthermore,nanotechnology has the potential to significantly impact the progress of the world and human life. Actually,many existing technologies do already depend on nanoscale processes.Photography of silver halide is an example of "old" nanotechnology.In the early period,photographic scientists developed empirically silver halide technology controlling some structures of photographic materials in nanoscale.Silver halide technology has being improved vastly as nanotechnology advances. Herein,the impact of nanotechnology on the technical advance of silver halide would be discussed in three directions: study on photography of silver halide at nanoscale;nanostructures on microcrystals of silver halide;nanoparticles of silver halide.

Key words: nanotechnology, nanostructure, silver halide
