The present invention describes an imaging element which includes a support, an image-forming layer, a transparent magnetic recording layer, and an electrically-conductive layer. The electrically-conductive layer is a dispersion in a film-forming binder of acicular, crystalline single phase, semi-conductive metal-containing particles having a cross-sectional diameter less than 0.02 mu m and an aspect ratio of greater than or equal to 5:1. |
