Sensitometry — is the scientific study of light sensitive materials, especially photographic film. The study has its origins in the work by Ferdinand Hurter and Vero Charles Driffield (circa 1876) with early black and white emulsions. [Hurter, Ferdinand… … Wikipedia
Film speed — is the measure of a photographic film s sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system. A closely related ISO system is used to measure the sensitivity of digital… … Wikipedia

Photographic film — This article is mainly concerned with still photography film. For motion picture film, please see film stock. Photographic film is a sheet of plastic (polyester, nitrocellulose or cellulose acetate) coated with an emulsion containing light… … Wikipedia
Densitometry — Principle of spot light densitometry Densitometry is the quantitative measurement of optical density in light sensitive materials, such as photographic paper or film, due to exposure to light. Optical density is a result of the darkness of a… … Wikipedia
densitometer — 1. An instrument for measuring the density of a fluid. SYN: densimeter. 2. An instrument for measuring, by virtue of relative turbidity, the growth of bacteria in broth; useful in microbiologic assay of nutrients and antibiotics, phage … Medical dictionary
Photographic developer — In the processing of photographic films, plates or papers, the photographic developer (or just developer) is a chemical that makes the latent image on the film or print visible. It does this by reducing the silver halides that have been exposed… … Wikipedia
