Fading and Silver Mirroring in a Dry Plate Glass Negative

Authors

Abstract:

Dry plate glass negatives are important part of the cultural, historical and visual heritage in history of Iran. Structural changes due to factors affected them over time, can cause deterioration in the image. Identifying deteriorations in dry plate glass negatives can help to provide better solutions in preserving them. The investigation of sample by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray microprobe analyzer (XPMA) indicated that the technique of sample is gelatin and silver halide on glass, and the chemical damages are fading and silver mirroring. Improper washing after fixing and residual of hypo on the surface of image is the main cause of fading. The formation of the silver mirroring is due to the oxidation of silver ions in the emulsion layer and migrate to the surface of the negative.

Nanospheres on a silver plate

Ever since the 1985 discovery of buckminsterfullerene (formally known as C60), this molecule, with its perfect shape and high symmetry, has fascinated scientists, physicists, and chemists alike [1–3]. Similar to a soccer ball, the molecule consists of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons, with carbon atoms at the vertices (Fig. 1). The carbons are connected through alternating single and double bonds, ...

Deep Wet and Dry Etching of Pyrex Glass: a Review

This paper is a review of wet and dry etching of one of the most common types of glass: Pyrex. The paper analyzes the methods for increasing the glass etch rate in HF solutions, namely, annealing, concentration, ultrasonic agitation and temperature. The limitations of the wet etching of glass are also presented. Mashing layers commonly used for deep wet etching of glass are analyzed, in terms o...
