Film Processing Part 2 Flashcards
is the first step in wet processing a film, at this stage silver is deposited at the latent image sites and an image becomes visible
Developing
primary agents of an automatic radiographic developer solutions
- two reducing agents
- activator
- restrainer
- preservative
- hardener
- solvent (water)
Developer
the chemical in the reducing agent that rapidly produces fine detail shades of gray
phenidone
the chemical in the reducing agent that slowly produces heavy densities
hydroquinone
the action of the developer is controlled by
- immersion time
- solution
- temperature
- chemical activity
provide electrons to the silver ions attached to the sensitivity specks of the silver halide crystals
Reducing Agents
provide electrons to the silver ions attached to the sensitivity specks of the silver halide crystals
Reducing Agents
Silver halides have negative exteriors (————-) and positive exteriors (——–)
- negative exteriors - bromine and iodine ions are located
- posteriors exteriors - silver ions are located
