Film Processing Flashcards
x-ray image changes the latent image to a visible image that is made permanent for handling, viewing and storage
processing
refers to the image that exists on film after it has been exposed but before it has been processed
latent/potential image
black metallic silver image
visible/manifest image
factors to produce image
technical factors, positioning, processing
indirectly proportional to the chemicals for processing
time
in automatic processing, an increased time results to ?
decrease of chemicals
in manual processing, a decreased time results to ?
increase of chemicals
converts exposed silver bromide crystals (latent image_ to BMS (visible image)
developer solution
clears and removes unexposed silver bromide crystals and stops the development as it hardens the emulsion
fixer solution
removes chemicals remain on film
water
it is carried over the top of the tanks into the water drain
overflow solution
temperature of manual processing system
70 farenheit
processing steps of film
wetting
developing
rinsing
fixing
washing
drying
swells emulsion for photon penetration to SHC
wetting
incorporated with wetting because developer solution has wetting component
developing
produces visible image from latent image
developing
“stop-bath” and stops the developing action as it removes excess chemical from the emulsion
rinsing
incorporated with rinsing and removes remaining silver halide crystals from emulsion and hardens gelatin
fixing
rehardens emulsion for handling, viewing and storage for archival and removes unexposed SHC outside collimator
fixing
removes chemicals with water
washing
