Midterm Lesson 1 Flashcards
The most important consideration in selecting screen film is ———?
• Spectral Matching
For the screen to work at maximum efficiency, the ——— of the film must match to the light from the screen
the light absorption characteristic
screen that emits blue and blue-violet light
a) Calcium Tungstate Screen
screen that emits ultraviolet, blue, green, and red light
b) Rare-Earth Elements
What are the three RARE EARTH ELEMENTS
Ytrrium, Gadolinium, Lanthanum
All silver halide film responds to
violet and blue
All silver halide film does not respond to ——— unless they are spectrally sensitized
GREEN, YELLOW, AND RED
3 Types of Film according to its Sensitivity
- Orthochromatic Film
- Monochromatic Film
- Panchromatic Film
sensitive to the entire visible light spectrum
Panchromatic Film
blue and green sensitive film
Monochromatic Film
green sensitive film
Orthochromatic Film
Filter used for blue sensitive film and its wavelength
Amber Filter (550 nm wavelength)
Filter used for green and blue sensitive film and its wavelength
Red Filter (600 nm wavelength)
Ideal film humidity
50%
Film humidity greater than 60% results in?
Increased fog
Film humidity lesser than 40% results in?
Static Artifacts on the Film
- serves as a water jacket to hold insert tanks
- usually, large enough to provide space between insert tanks for rinsing and washing of films
Master Tanks
- Removable containers for the individual processing solutions (developer nd dixer)
- Are spaced in master tanks
Insert Tanks
- prevents stagnant water
Overflow Valve
- The term applied to chemical reactions that transform the latent image into a manifest image
Film Processing
Film Processing Steps
Development
Rinsing
Fixing
Washing
Drying
During ———, it penetrates the gelatin of the emulsion, causing it to swell.
wetting
In automatic processor, the wetting agent is in the ———.
developer
• The primary function of ——— is to convert the latent image into a visible image.
• A very short and critical stage where the latent image is converted to manifest image
development
Principal action of the ——— is to change the silver ions of exposed crystals into metallic silver.
developer
The step when development is complete and then the film must be treated so that the image will not fade.
The image is said to be ——— on the film, and this produces film of archival quality.
Fixing, Fixed
This stage in processing is to remove any residual chemicals remaining in the emulsion, particularly hypo that clings to the surface of the film.
Washing
Wash water should be maintained at approximately ——— below the developer temperature.
3°C (5°F)
serves to stabilize developer temperature
Wash bath
Inadequate washing leads to ——— and the production of an image that will fade will turn ——— over time and be of ———
Inadequate washing leads to excessive hypo-retention and the production of an image that will fade will turn brown over time and be of generally poor archival quality
Final step of film processing
Drying
Time of Drying for Manual and Automatic Processing
• Manual Processing – takes longer than 1 hour to be completed.
• Automatic Processing - the dry-to-drop time is 90 seconds
