Question | Answer |
---|---|
4 stages of processing | development,fixing,washing,drying |
what is the purpose of development? | to convert an invisible image to latent image |
exposed silver halide grains are reduced to what? | metallic silver |
good developer acts more quickly on exposed grains or unexposed grains? | exposed |
if given sufficient time in developer, all Ag halide is reduced to what? | silver |
when unexposed crystals are reduced it creates? | fog |
development provides | optical density and radiographic contrast |
silver bromide grain is surrounded by a barrier to protect it from what? | electrons in the developing solution |
exposed silver bromide grains possess a weakness in he charge barrier caused by what? | presence of neutral silver atoms which have collected at the sensitivity speck |
the development center enables electrons from the developer to do what? | penetrate the grain and reduce all its silver ions to metallic silver |
elevated temperature and high pH concentration in the developer causes ? | chemical fog |
chemical fog results in ? | increased density and decreased contrast |
what happens when the developer becomes oxidized? | the developer becomes depleted of electrons |
when no development takes place but there is a reaction with atmospheric oxygen, this is called? | aerial oxidation |
how does aerial oxidation affect the supply of reducing agent? | the supply becomes exhausted |
