Blue Sensitive X-Ray Film

High contrast , high resolution, blue sensitive medical X-Ray film for use with blue emitting screens.

Our blue sensitive x-ray film is ideally suited for use in general radiographic procedures with calcium tungstate intensifying screens. The low base plus fog and evenly dispersed silver hide crystals provides excellent high contrast and fine structured imaging. The polyester base which the emulsion is coated on provides dimensional stability to withstand automatic processing demands

The soft, blue tint evenly filters the harsh fluorescent illuminator light, while still providing outstanding clarity.

System Speed

When used with regular high plus calcium tungstate screens, your resultant speed would be approximately 200. When used with blue III rare earth screens, the resultant speed would be approximately 800. Blue is highly compatible in many other brands of screens which are too numerous to list; however, we would be glad to recommend the proper combination in accordance to your needs.

Packaging

Available in all common sizes including metric. The easy open, re-closable box contains 100 sheets and is available in case quantities of 5 boxes per case.

Processing

Our blue’s advanced emulsion technology is formulated to produce optimum results when processing in both automatic processors and manual developing systems. This film is designed to be processed in any brand of quality chemistry. For optimum results developer temperature in a 90 sec. processor should be approx. 93 degrees(34 degrees C) developer temperature. Manual developing times will depend upon individual processing conditions and desired results.

Safelight

A Kodak GBX-2* or equivalent with a maximum 15 watts is recommended. The safelight should not be any closer than 4 feet from the loading area.

*GBX-2 is a trademark of Eastman Kodak Co.
