Abstract: | Unexposed blanks prepared from Kodak AR 10 stripping film were dried by 3 methods: (1) fast, open drying with a fan for 25 min, (2) slow drying in a desiccator for 6 hr, and (3) very slow drying in a desiccator for 24 hr. The number of background grains depended on the mode of drying. Fast drying (method 1) gave 0.7 grain per 100 μ2, slow drying (method 2) gave 0.33 grain; very slow drying (method 3), only 0.17 grain. The increase of background after fast drying is assumed to be caused by the rapid shrinkage of wet emulsion. This causes an increase in the intraemulsion pressure which, in turn, sensitizes the silver bromide crystals to cause an increase in the number of developable grains. |
