6 Flashcards
This refers to a cellulose tape or plate where silver salts are suspended that are capable of recording light.
Film
This refers to top layer; scratch – resistant coating; gelatine coating; an over – coating composed of a thin transparent layer of hard gelatine which helps protect the silver halide emulsion from scratches and abrasions.
Top Coating/Varnish Coating/Protective Coating –
This refers to structure of film that composed of silver halides and gelatine – a layer composed of silver compounds (which are light sensitive) and halogens (such as bromide, chloride, and iodide which is used in small amounts, seldom made more than 5% with silver bromide in fast film emulsion).
Emulsion Layer/Inert Gelatin
This refers to structure of film that is made of
cellulose acetate or other materials such as paper, plastic, or glass which supports the emulsion layer and is coated with a non – curl anti – halation backing.
Film Base/Backing/Base
This refers to a black dye applied on the rear surface of the film, it absorbs light that may penetrate the emulsion layer to prevent it from reflecting back to the emulsion thus making the mage sharper since it suppresses double image, and prevents the appearance of halo formation in the photograph.
Anti – halation Backing/Anti – Curl
This refers to emulsion layer that consist of three (or four) layers stacked one on top of another with filter in between each. These separate layers record the green blue and red values that go on making all colors, because all colors can be made of mixtures of red, blue and green which are called primary colors.
Structure of Color Film
This refers to film that is sensitive to a single color
of light.
Monochromatic Film
This refers to film that is more sensitive to blue rays of light.
Blue Sensitive Film
This refers to film that is sensitive to UV rays only.
Ultra – Violet Sensitive Film
This refers to film that is sensitive to ultra – violet
rays, and all light found in the visible spectrum, especially to blue and violet light, suitable for general use in the preparation of black – and – white photographs and most commonly used in investigative photography because it produces the most natural recording of colors.
Panchromatic Film
This refers to film that is sensitive to UV rays,
blue and green colors but not to red
Orthochromatic Film
This refers to film that is sensitive to infra – red and ultra
– Violet radiation, which is beyond the human eye’s sensitivity, also sensitive to all the colors found in the spectrum, and useful in penetrating haze because of its longer wavelength. It is useful in laboratory analysis of questionable documents; in the discovery of old or faded tattoos or areas where small objects are hidden under the skin; and in the construction of camera traps.
Infrared Film
This refers to film sensitivity to light.

DIN meaning
Deutche Industries Normen
This refers to film intended for B and W
photography.
Black and White Film
This refers to films that have name ending in Color – color
negatives for prints.
Color Film
This refers to a material which is sensitive to X – ray region
of the electromagnetic spectrum.
