X-RAYS FILMS HAVE 4 BASIC COMPONETS - 1. Film base
2. adhesive layer
3. film emulsion
4. Protective layer
FILM BASE - a flexible piece of polyester plastice 0.2 mm in thickness that is constructed to with sand
heat mositure and chemical exposure.
WHAT IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE FIM BASE? - to provide a stable support for the delicate
emulsion
ADHESIVE LAYER - A thin layer of adhesive material that covers both sides of the film base
FILM EMULSION - A coating attached to both sides of the film base by the adhesive layer give the film
greater sensitivity to the xradiation
GELATIN - used to suspend and evenly disperse millions of microscopic silver halide crystal over the film
base.
HALIDE - is a chemical compound that is sensitive to radiation or light
SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS - crystals that are suspended in the emulsion of the dental x-ray film (silver
bromide, silver iodide) function to absorb radiation during x-ray exposure and store energy from the
radiation
