( or greyscale) image : a raster image in which each pixel is defined by a value of a single quantity; images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black to white, though in principle the values could be shades of any color (the term monochromatic seems more appropriate in that instance). Grayscale images intended for visual display are largely stored with 8 bits per pixel, which allows 256 intensities (i.e., shades of gray) to be valued, usually on a non-linear scale. raster image pixel bit geography : physical

Black and white continuous tone images are scanned as grayscales made up of four, sixteen, 64 or 256 grays. For output, grayscales are converted into a black and white halftone where dots of varying sizes are used to represent grays ranging from black and white.

Images that are represented using tints of black only.
The range of intensity increments between white and black.

Grayscale refers to shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image at a higher quality than black and white. Color images can be converted to grayscale as the colors are represented by various shades of gray. Monochrome monitors utilize grayscale resolutions.
term used to describe an image that only contains shades of gray
An image type that uses black, white, and a range of shades of gray. The number of shades of gray depends on the number of bits per pixel. The larger the number of shades of gray, the better the image will look, and the larger the file will be.
An even range of gray tones between black and white.
An image that contains no color information is made up of shades of gray. In a grayscale image, each pixel has more bits of information encoded in it, allowing more shades to be recorded and shown. Four bits are needed to reproduce up to 16 levels of gray and 8 bits can reproduce a photo-realistic 256 shades of gray.
Rather than being in color, a picture can also be composed of varying shades of gray. These pictures can be saved in grayscale format. Such pictures look similar to black-and-white photos.

An image composed of black, white, and intermediate shades of gray. There are 256 shades of gray in a grayscale image.
A system of displaying images in gray tones (or "levels of gray"), simulating the continuous gray tones of a photograph. To achieve grayscale, a monitor must be able to display 2 to 16 bits of information per pixel. This allows the monitor to display a black or white pixel as well as several values between black and white.
An application of black ink (for print) or the color black (for the screen) that simulates a range of tones. Grayscale images have no hue (color). In print design, a grayscale graphic image appears to be black, white, and shades of gray, but it only uses a single color ink.
An image type that contains more than just black and white, and includes actual shades of gray. In a grayscale image, each pixel has more bits of information encoded in it, allowing more shades to be recorded and shown. 4 bits are needed to reproduce up to 16 levels of gray, and 8 bits can reproduce a photo-realistic 256 shades of gray.

A black and white image
A File type that only consists of gray tones that fall between black and white.
Consisting entirely of shades of gray.
On a video display, the intermediate steps of gray between absolute black (0 IRE) and white (100 IRE). In the analog NTSC TV system used in the U.S., black level is specified as 7.5 IRE; for all other TV systems and progressive-scan DVD outputs, black should be 0 IRE.
In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in principle the samples could be displayed as shades of any color, or even coded with various colors for different intensities. Grayscale images are distinct from black-and-white images, which in the context of computer imaging are images with only two colors, black and white; grayscale images have many shades of gray in between.
