On the fixing of thick nuclear emulsions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Rate of fixing, clearing time, swelling and corrosion of Ilford G-5 and K-5 emulsions have been studied for different fixing solutions under rigidly controlled conditions. Curves are given which may be used to predict when it is advisable to change some of the fixer.

Riassunto

Si sono studiati il tempo di fissaggio, la durata del lavaggio, il rigontiamento e la corrosione delle emulsioni Ilford G-6 e K-5, per diverse soluzioni di fissaggio in condizioni rigidamente controllate. Si danno le curve che possono essere usate per predire quando è conveniente cambiare parte del liquido di fissaggio.
