sometimes referred to as a stop bath and is more effective than a water rinse, as it instantly neutralizes the action of the developer and stops further development.

Study Notes
Preservatives in Fixer
- Added to fixer to prevent oxidation of developing agents retained from the film.
- Prevents decomposition and discoloration of the fixing bath solution.
- Aids in eliminating stains on the film.
Fixative Types and Functions
- Often referred to as a conditioner, it shortens processing time or preserves other solutions.
- Added to neutralize residual developer action when the film enters the fixing bath.
- Known as a stop bath, provides a more effective neutralization compared to a simple water rinse.
Common Chemicals in Photography
- Potassium bromide is the primary restrainer used in photographic development.
- Film sensitivity is quantified using ISO ratings, which were formerly referred to as ASA/DIN.
Protective Film Layer
- Hard gelatin over-coating protects the silver halide emulsion from scratches and abrasions.
Lens Information
- A specific lens design consists of two achromatic lenses with nearly identical focal lengths, correcting various lens defects except astigmatism.
- A zoom lens is characterized by a variable focal length, allowing for flexibility in composition.
Light Characteristics
- Discusses light incident on a surface rather than light reflected from it, highlighting the difference in interaction.
