In addition to the pro-tection against the ray care should be taken not to store theplates where they may be attacked by the fumes of suchchemicals as acetic acid, ammonia, nitric or sulphuric acid, astheir action upon the sensitive surface of the plate may provequite detrimental. Development.—Chemistry: After the light sensitive material has been exposed to theaction of the ray for a short time a chemical change takesplace which remains latent until the emulsion is subjected * Especially in stomach plates where peristaltic waves are to be considered andexposures of 1/10 of a second are required to stop motion. 82.

Schwarz. 83 to the action of an oxidising or reducing agent more com-monly known as a developer. Its action consists in removingthe bromine from the sensitized surface leaving behind adeposit of black metallic silver v^hich forms the image. The most popular reducing agent is Metol, or any one ofits substitutes taken from the Paramidophenol group, beingeither a sulphate or a chloride. This developer cateringsolely to detail does not by itself make a suitable compound,as it does not impart density to the negative. The addition ofHydrochinone vv^ill assist us greatly in overcoming this diffi-culty. There are very few developers which can successfullybe employed without the addition of other in order to act properly must be in alkalinesolution, the strength of the developer depending vastly upont
