47
What does a Densitomitor do

48
What does a Sensitometer do
Creates optical step wedge by taking unexposed film in dark room expose film with Sensitometer then develop film
49
What do you use and what are the steps involved for testing the wash.
Hypo retention or fixer retention (small bottle with color card) it tests the wash to make sure it has removed the fixer from film to ensure proper archiving. Steps Take a processes film and dab chemical. Wait 2 minutes then develop. Look for yellow spots on film
50

75
![]()
chemical fog ## Footnote šOver development of film. Excessive base + fog and excessive optical density. šCan be caused by developer temperature being too high, time, pH, and concentration.
76
![]()
Curtain effect ## Footnote šSolution dripping on or running down a film. Forms a pattern resembling a lace curtain. šOccurs if wash water is dirty.
77
![]()
Guide Shoe Marks ## Footnote šScratches on images made by jagged edges of the guide shoes because they may be bent, warn, or damaged šAppear white on radiograph šRun parallel to direction of the film in travel
78
![]()
Pi Lines ## Footnote šArtifacts that occur relative to the circumference of a roller and therefor occur at regular intervals šAppear as dark lines that are perpendicular to the angle of the film in travel
79
![]()
Hesitation Marks Stripes of decreased OD where transport rollers are left in contact with the film and further development is prevented
80
Water spots ## Footnote Occurs when water or other liquid contacts unprocessed image -A pattern of increased optical density appears after processing
81
Wet Pressure Sensitization ## Footnote Dark stripes caused by wet rollers
82
Grid Lines šShadows of the lead strips caused by failure of grid to move. šImproper grid focus šImproper angle šImproper CR and centering. Decreased density-White lines
83
Grid cut off ## Footnote šDecrease in Optical density caused by primary radiation being absorbed by grid. šAny improper use of grid can cause this.
84
Cresent marks ## Footnote šHalf moon shaped marks of increased density. šCaused by bending the film.
85
Tree Static ## Footnote šResembles trees or bushes and is usually caused by low humidity conditions in processing area. šDecreased density. Black “trees”.
86
Crown Static šMarks radiate in one direction to resemble a crown. Excessive friction from pulling on film
87
Smudge Static ## Footnote Resembles “thumb”, dark spots on film Caused by excessive light exposure on film, rough handling in film processing areas.
88
Light Age Safelight Fog šLight of any improper color lowers contrast. šAge may lower image contrast if film has been processed beyond expiration date. Safelight has improper filter, incorrect distance, incorrect wattage
89
Emulsion Pick Off ## Footnote šEmulsion is removed or picked off of film base. šOccurs when two images are stuck together before processing and then pulled apart. šDecreased Density
