Developer
Purpose of the developer is convert the exposed silver halide crystals into metallic silver grains ph is alkaline basic
What are two chemical in the developer
Metol/elon-builds up gray
Hydroquine-builds up black tones and contrast
Four functions in the developer
Developing agent
Preservative
Activator
Restrainer
Activator
Sodium carbonate
Restrainer
Potassium sulfite -keeps reducing agents from developing unexposed silver halide
Perservative
Sodium sulfite- prevent radio oxidation
5 steps to manual processing
Developing solution Rinsing Fixing Washing Drying
Developing solution temp and
68-70 degrees develop for 5 mins
Rinsing purpose
Remove alkaline developer before placing film in the fixer 30 seconds
Fixing purpose
Stops further development establishing
- removes unexposed underdeveloped silver crystals
- hardens the emulsion
Fixing agent
Ammonium thiosulfate - clears away unexposed silver halide
Acidifier
Acetic or sulfuric acid -stops development by neutralizing developer
Harder agent
Aluminum chloride or sulfide shrinks and hardens emulsion
Preservative
Sodium sulfite -maintains chemical balance
Darkroom
4ft away 15 watt bulb
Chemicals stirred and replenished daily
Manual chemical replenishment
Developer- 6oz added to am
Fixer- 3oz may need to remove some chemical
Automatic processing
Developer
Fixer
Wash
Temp and maintenance for automatic processing
For every 30- film 6-8 oz
Which term best describes the process by which the laten image visible Reticulation reduction activation preservation
B
Which of these is the correct processing sequence
Develop rinse fix wash dry
The basic constituents of the developer solution are
Reducing agent, activator, preservation restrainer
During which step of the processing procedure are the expose silver halide crystals reduced to metallic silver
Developing
Which ingredient remove the unexposed undeveloped silver halide crystals from the film emulsion
Sodium thiosulfate p
