Undo™ X-Ray Film Background Reducer
AMRESCO’s UnDo™ X-Ray Film Background Reducer Kit easily and proportionally reduces the signal on overexposed film. The kit includes two solutions that are used sequentially to oxidize and remove silver deposits on the film from areas of low to high density. The original data is preserved resulting in an optimized image that reduces ambiguous data interpretation. The kit components work sequentially by first oxidizing the silver grains on the film in Solution A. Solution B stops the oxidation reaction and dissolves the oxidized silver grains. The film can be treated with multiple cycles of UnDo™ to achieve the desired results.
- Reduce your signal to noise ratio
- Rescue overexposed films to produce publication quality results
- Simple procedure
