Violet
Blue
Types of film that is green sensitive
Orthochromatic film
Type of film that is sensitive to the entire light spectrum
Panchromatic film
Type of film sensitive to one color of light
Monochromatic film

2 Types of processing tanks
Master tank
Insert tanks
Tank that serves as water jacket and holds insert tanks
Master tank
Removable container for individual processing solutions; spaced in master tanks
Insert tanks
Term applied to chemical reaction transforming latent image to manifest image
Film processing
Order of film processing
Development
Rinsing
Fixing
Washing
Drying
Wetting agent
Water
It penetrates the gelatin of emulsion causing it to swell
Wetting
Primary function of this process is to convert latent image to visible image
Development
Other term for visible image
Manifest image
Principle action on developer:
Change silver ions of exposed crystals to metallic silver
Developer components and their chemicals
Developing agent- Phenidone/ Metol & hydroquinone
Activator- Sodium carbonate
Restrainer- Potassium bromide
Preservative- sodium silfite
Hardener - glutaraldehyde
Sequestering agent - chelates
Solvent - Water
Reducing agent; produces shades of gray rapidly
Phenidone/metol
Reducing agent; produces black tones slowly
Hydroquinone
