| 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 |

| 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 |
| instrument that provides a read out of the amount of blackness on a film | Densitometer |
