A procedure is employed to eliminate the unexposed and undeveloped silver halides from the film and simultaneously preserve and strengthen the image captured on the film.      

A device measuring 14×17 inches, resembling a frame, consists of wire mesh enclosed in plastic. This device is positioned on top of a cassette to ensure proper contact between the film and the screen during imaging.  

A storage container, equipped with vertical partitions, is designed for the purpose of storing opened x-ray film boxes of various sizes. The container takes the form of a drawer, which is counterweighted to ensure it remains open once opened. Additionally, a gentle touch is all that is required to automatically close the drawer. It is…

The voltage applied to the terminals of the filament in an x-ray system typically ranges from approximately five to 15 volts.  

A specialized step-down transformer is employed solely for the purpose of supplying current to the filaments of x-ray, valve, and electron tubes. In the x-ray circuit, the filament transformer operates in conjunction with the choke coil to regulate the tube current effectively.  

The temperature of the filament in the x-ray tube, measured in amperes, is commonly referred to as the filament current.
