An automatic X-ray film processor uses a series of chemical-filled tanks and rollers to develop exposed X-ray film. The film is transported through developing solution to convert exposed silver halide crystals to black metallic silver, fixer to remove unexposed crystals and produce the clear areas of the image, water to remove residual chemicals, and a dryer. Developing film with an automatic processor is a simple task that requires basic darkroom procedure knowledge.

3. INTRODUCTION:
An automatic X-ray film processor is a series of chemical-filled
tanks and a roller system that transports sheets of exposed X-ray film
through the developing solution, fixer, water and dryer. In the
developing solution, exposed silver halide crystals are chemically
converted to black metallic silver, producing the dark areas on the
image. The fixer removes unexposed silver crystals to produce the
clear areas on the film and to stabilize the image for archiving. In the
third tank, water removes residual developing chemicals. The film is
then transported through the dryer. Developing film in an automatic
X-ray film processor is a simple task that requires basic knowledge of
darkroom procedures.
