Film Processing

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
activator   a chemical used in film developing in the fixer solution to maintain an acidic pH to enhance the funtioning of the clearing agent  
🗑
agitatiot   stirring up of the processing solutions  
🗑
chemical fog   the effect on a film when unexposed silver halides are reduced  
🗑
chemical precipitation   a type of silver recovery system that uses chemicals to break down in the fixer adn release electrons; the silver is heavy and falls to the bottom of the tank  
🗑
circulation system   a part of the automatic processing system designed to stabilize temperatures, agitate solutions, mix the chemistry, and filter the solutions  
🗑
clearing agent   the primary agent of the fixer  
🗑
crossover network   part of the automoatic processing transport system designed to bend the transport rack and must be directed down to the next tank or section  
🗑
developing   the step in film processing; silver is deposited at the latent image sites and an image becomes visible  
🗑
drive system   part of the automatic processing transport system designed as a series of mechanical devices to turn the numerous rollers in the processor from power supplied by a single motor  
🗑
dryer system   the final stage of film processing that removes the excess water, cools and dries the film, and seals the film for viewing and storage  
🗑
drying   the process of film developing in which hot air is forced over both sides of the film as it exits the processor  
🗑
dwell time   the time allotted for the fixer in a silver revcovery unit to sit to permit chemical reactions to occur  
🗑
electrolytic   a type of silver recovery system that passes a current from a cathode to an anode through the fixer; the ionized silver is attracted to the negatively charged cathode  
🗑
entrance rollers   specially designed crossover network to begin the film traveling form the feed tray down into the developer section  
🗑
fixing   the process of removing undeveloped silver halides to make the image premanent for viewing  
🗑
flood replenishment   a type of replenishing system used for low-volume systems; controlled by a timer that floods the developer and fixer tanks with replenisher at regular intervals  
🗑
hardener   a chemical used in film processing that controls the swelling of the gelatin to prevent scratches adn abrasions to the emulsion during processing; in a fixer solution must function in an acidic environment  
🗑
heat exchanger   the part of the automative processing system in which a thermostat is used to heat the developer which is then routed to a circulation coil to heat the fixer by conduction  
🗑
hydroquinone   a developing agent that slowly reduces silver and produces heavy density  
🗑
metallic replacement   a fixer recovery unit in which the fixer acid breaks down the iron in a steel screen or in steel wool and displaces it with silver  
🗑
pass box   a lightproof container set in the wall of the darkroom used to pass film through for processing  
🗑
phenidone   a chemical that quickly reduces silver, enhancing fine detail adn subtle shades of gray, and works only in areas of light exposure  
🗑
preservative   a chemical used in film processing to help descrease the oxidation of the reducing agents when they are combined with air; also used in fixer solution to aid removal of silver from the emulsion  
🗑
reducing agent   a chemical used in film developing that provides electrons to the silver ions attached to the sensitivity specks of the silver halide crystals  
🗑
replenishment system   replaces chemicals that are depleted through the chemical reactions of processing, oxidation, and evaporation  
🗑
resin   a type of silver recovery system that uses acid to form resin ions; the silver is attracted to the resin; the resin is processed to remove the silver  
🗑
solvent   chemicals used in developing film suspended in water  
🗑
standby replenishment   a type of flood replenishing system used for low-volume systems; controlled by a timer that floods the developer and fixer tanks with replenisher at regular intervals  
🗑
starter solution   a solution of acetic acid and potassium bromide that is added to the replenisher solution when starting a fresh tank of developer  
🗑
superadditivity   when two reducing agents are combined, forming a PQ developer, their reducing ability is the sum of their independent abilities  
🗑
tailing   if the silver recovery is not sufficient, a second process is undergone to process the solution after it has gone through the first unit  
🗑
temperature control system   the part of the automatic processing unit that maintains all theww solutions at compatible temperatures  
🗑
timed replenishment   a type of flood replenishing system used for low-volume sytems; controlled by a timer that floods the developer and fixer tanks with replenisher at regular intervals  
🗑
transport racks   part of the automatic processing transport system consisting of three rollers designed to move film through a processing tank  
🗑
transport system   paart of the automativ processing system designed to move a film through developer, fixer, wash, and dryer sections of the processor  
🗑
volume replenishment   type of replenishment system used for high-volume systems; activates when films enter the processor  
🗑
washing   the process of using water to remove as much of the fixer and developer solutions as possible  
🗑
