3. A Dark
room is a room,
from which normal
light is excluded.
It is made completely
dark to allow the
processing of light
sensitive photographic
materials.
4. A Entrance
to the dark room is
light tight .
The Door should have lock in
the knob that will keep people
from entering the room while
film is being processed.
5. FOUR
TYPES OF ENTRANCE
REVOLVING
SINGLE
DOUBLE
MAZE
6.
7. Most
efficient but most
expensive type.
Composed of two black
cylinders.
The outer is fixed.
Inner is the revolving
door with only one
opening.
8.
9. Simplest
and cheapest
type.
Weather striping around
the door frame.
This type can cause
accidental exposure of
film to white light.
10. Used
in single door system.
To prevent accidental exposure of film to
white light.
It locks the door while the film bin is
open or while film being processed.
11.
12. Has two doors
One leading in and other
out with a short hallway
in between.
One door cannot be
opened unless the other
is closed.
This type can cause
trapping.
13.
14. Has
no doors.
People can enter and exit at any
moment.
Takes up too much building
space.
18. Processing
tanks are made up of stainless
steel to avoid erosion.
The width of the tank may vary
according to the capacity of the tank.
19. A radiographic film
cassette is a rectangle or
square plastic or metallic
container used to hold x
ray film (exposed or
unexposed) and
intensifying screens in
close and uniform contact
with one another.
20. DIFFERENT CASSETTE SIZES
17 x 14 inches
15 x 12
14 x 14
12 x 12
12 x 10
10 x 8
12 x 6 (OPG)
21. 1.

4.
5.
Hold intensifying screen and protect them from
damage.
Exclude all light from entering the cassette and
fogging the film.
Maintain a close and uniform contact between the
screen and film.
Exclude dust and dirt from the sensitive films.
Act as a medium from exposure up to further
processing of film.
22. A Safe
light is a lamp
which produces light in
areas of the spectrum
which will not affect
photographic materials
like film and
photographic paper.
25.
There are two safe lights in the dark room.
One is on the wet bench
Other one is on the dry bench
26. Safelights can be direct or indirect
Should give sufficient light to facilitate work
once your eyes have adjusted
Must be at least 1.2m above work area
Safelights are not completely safe over
prolonged exposure so make sure you work
quickly & efficiently to avoid fogging your
film!!!!
27. Uses
of safelight
For loading and unloading of
cassettes
For processing procedure
28. A film hanger is a
instrument or device for
holding radiographic film
during processing
procedure.
Available in various sizes.
Made up of stainless steel.
29.
Three types of hangers
CLIP TYPE
CHANNEL TYPE
SPRING TYPE
30. Automatic
film processor is a equipment.
It used for the fast and efficient method
in the film.
In is mechanically transferred from the
developer to the fixer.
And is washed and finally dried.
31.
32. Automatic
processor contains
DEVELOPER
FIXER
WASHING
DRYER
It contains rollers instead of rinsing in manual
processing.
33. Advantages
of automatic processor
Dry to dry system
No work load like manual
processing
It maintains the time and
temperature of the processing
procedure.
35. Hatches are designed to transfer film cassettes
to and from the dark room without radiation
light entering
It consist of metallic structures with a lead
lining to provide x ray shielding.
They are typically wall mounted and include
automatic interlocks that close one door when
other is opened.
36. It
is also used for the temporary storage
of loaded cassettes.
37. Film
racks are used to keep the film
boxes.
It is very important that film boxes are
always kept vertically.
Not horizontally.
When we keep horizontally pressure on
the film boxes may produce artifacts.
