A technique employed to create motion pictures directly from the output phosphor of the image intensifier.  

A camera specifically designed for capturing motion, commonly employed in cinefluoroscopy and typically utilizing either 16 or 35 mm film formats. The frame rates of such cameras can range from 15 to 60 frames per second.        

A variable resistor that operates based on the principle of electromagnetic self-induction, exclusively utilizing alternating current.  

Fogging in film can occur due to various factors such as developing at excessively high temperatures or overdevelopment, usage of oxidized or deteriorated developer, prolonged or repeated inspection of films during development, and contamination of tanks.      

An attraction between two ions, also known as ionic polar valence.  

The capacity of an element to combine with another element relies on the valence of the element.  

An electrical switch that enables the fluorographer to seamlessly transition from fluoroscopy to spot film work automatically.
