31
Types of lighting
- Whitelight - Safelight
32
Functions of the whitelight
- inspection and maintenance of cassette - cleaning work surfaces - servicing of equipment - changing of solution
33
Provides enough light to illuminate the darktoom while ensuring that the film remains unexposed
Safelight
34
Compositions of safelight
- incandescent (?) lamps with a color filter
35
What is the safelight's filter made out of?
Glass tinted with different colors
36
Has the capacity to emit all typess of light
LED Lamps
37
Safelight wattage
15 W
38
Distance of safelight
No closer than 1.5m (5ft) from the work space
39
Physics of light
Frequency of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength
40
Wavelength of the color red
Long ƛ at 700nm (low f)
41
Wavelength of the color violet
Short ƛ at 400 nm (high f)
42
Safelight filters
- Kodak Wratten Series 6B Filter - Kodak GBX Filter
43
Color of the Kodak WS 6B filter and what color it emit
- Amber filter (reddish yellow) - Emits orange-brown light
44
Color of the Kodak GBX filter and what color it emit
- Red filter - Emits dark red light
45
Transmits light that has a ƛ longer than 550 nm
Kodak WS 6B Filter
46
Transmits light that has a ƛ above 660 nm
Kodak GBX Filter
47
What type of safelight filter moves toward red? and what moves toward violet?
Towards red: Kodak GBX filter Towards violet: Kodak WS 6B FIlter
48
Compatability of the filter color of the safelight to the color sensitivity of the film
Spectral matching
49
Spectral matching refers to the compatability of the (1) of the safelight to the (2) of the film
1. filter color 2. color sensitivity
