Abstract
In radiographic practice provision must be made to handle unprocessed film material outside the protective environment of its cassette. All film material used in radiography is sensitive to white light with resultant film fogging and to avoid this when handling unprocessed film it is usual to provide
-
(i)
a film handling room from which white light can be excluded when required. Historically, such a room is called the radiographic darkroom
-
(ii)
light sources within the darkroom providing a visible light spectrum outside the range of spectral sensitivity of the film being handled.
