Lichthofbildung
English term
halation
Use your wide-open CA test shot, and examine the branches. If they have a translucent look, it’s probably due to halation. (Colours Magazine)
Halation creates secondary ghost images in the film, which to photographers is bad because they are a by-product of unintentional light and film interaction. (anbstudio)
To combat halation, film manufacturers treat the base of the film to reduce or nullify reflections. Grey base is a film base permanently dyed a low density grey colour, this reduces reflection back into the emulsion and light-piping within the base. (National Film and Sound Archive)

Lichthofbildung
Produktbeschreibung, Feinstkornfilm efke 50 "Single Layer Filme schützen sich nicht selbst vor zuviel Lichteinfall. Daher sind sie etwas empfindlicher gegen Überbelichtung aber extrem scharf weil keine Lichthofbildung zwischen den Schichten stattfindet. Sie haben außerdem ein hervorragendes Schwarzschildverhalten." (Blende7.at)
