A chemical solution which dissolves unexposed silver halide crystals from developed film emulsions.
A chemical solution (sodium thiosulfate or ammonium thiosulfate) that makes a photographic image sensitive to light. The fixer stabilizes the emulsion by converting the undeveloped silver halides into water-soluble compounds, which can then be dissolved away. Also called hypo.
chemical solution (sodium thiosulfate or ammonium thiosulfate) that makes a photographic image insensitive to light. It dissolves unexposed silver halide crystals while leaving the developed silver image. Also called hypo
A chemical assistant which helps the dye bond with the fiber.
Chemical that prevents deterioration of images on photosensitive paper.
Chemical used to stop film from developing.
A chemical solution that makes a developed print or film permanent.
A chemical solution used to make a developed piece of film permanent.
a chemical compound that sets or fixes something (as a dye or a photographic image)
Fixer is a chemical used for fixation. It keeps negatives and prints looking fresh for a lifetime.
Chemical for permanently removing the light sensitivity of photographic materials. Usually hypo (sodium thiosulphate) although sodium or potassium cyanide was commonly used for fixing daguerreotypes.
A chemical, sodium thiosulfate, used to remove residual silver halides (grain) from films and prints when processing them. Fixer "fixes" the remaining silver halides in place on either film or prints. Fixer is also called hypo.
A processing solution used to make a photographic image permanent by dissolving unexposed silver halides out of a photographic emulsion.
Chemical solution used after development. Converts unexposed and therefore undeveloped silver halide into soluble salts which can be washed out leaving behind the now stable silver image and rendering the film insensitive to light.
A chemical solution used in processing to remove the undeveloped silver halide from the film and neutralize its light-sensitive property.
or "Fixing bath" or "Hypo" - The chemical solution used for fixation. It removes any photo-sensitive silver-halide crystals that were not acted upon by light or by the developer. FLARE can show up as a plain area of unwanted bright light or in shapes matching the aperture.
