Question | Answer |
---|---|
Protective layer of gelatin that provides sturdiness and reduces damage (film) | supercoat/overcoat |
film layer that holds and forms the latent image and is composed of silver halide crystals | emulsion layer |
what are the types of silver halide crystals | silver bromide (AgBr),silver iodide (AgI) |
What is the shape of crystal that absorbs more photons, uses a thinner emulsion, and speeds up processing? | tubular crystal |
what film layer hold emulsion in place, allows even distribution, and is a seperate suspension of silver halide crystals | Gelatin layer |
which film layer is the foundation of the radiograph and made of polyester | film base |
what does blue tint do? | contributes to base fog but helps with eye strain |
blue tint is found in which film layer? | film base |
which film layer binds emulsion to film base and acts as the "glue"? | Adhesive layer |
What year was the Gurney Mott Theory developed? | 1938 |

the ability of a radiographic film to provide a certain level of image contrast | film-screen contrast |
the measurement of the characteristic response of film to exposure and processing | sensitometry |
what are the 4 names of the density curve produced by graphing the exposures of a penetrometer exposure | D log E curve, H&D curve, characteristic curve, sensotomic curve |
blue tint has ____ OD | .2 |
QC for processor | sensitometer |
