Development Procedure No. 1

Non-Bleached Transmission & Reflection Hologram

CLOSE BOTH OUTSIDE DOORS TO room 286C, TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS, Turn on the Safety Light(White Switch Box on door jam), this light is outside the room door, NOW WORK IN COMPLETE DARKNESS.

1. DEVELOPMENT: Five (5) min. in Kodak D-19 Developer with constant agitation. Most of the development occurs during the first minute. Agitate the developer by tipping the tray regularly. It is important to keep track of the time as taking out the plate too early or leaving it in too long will under- or overexpose it.
2. RINSE: Thirty (30) sec. in running water with constant agitation.
3. FIXATION: Two (2) min. in Kodak Rapid-Fixer with constant agitation.
4. RINSE: Thirty (30) sec. in running water with constant agitation.
5. LIGHTS MAY BE TURNED ON
6. RESIDUAL FIXER REMOVAL: One and a half (1-1/2) min. in Hypo Clearing Agent with constant agitation.
7. WASH: Five (5) min. in running water.
8. RESIDUAL DYE-SENSITIZER REMOVER: Five (5) min. in Methanol with constant agitation.
9. RINSE: One (1) min. in running water.
10. PHOTO-FLO: Rinse the plate for thirty (30) seconds with constant agitation. The Photo-Flo reduces the surface tension of water and prevents water spots from forming on the emulsion.
11. DRY: Air dry at room temperature. Stand plate on edge.
12. RETURN ALL CHEMICALS TO THEIR CONTAINERS!!!

DO NOT POUR CHEMICALS DOWN THE DRAIN! POUR them BACK into their respective bottles!!!

Development Procedure No. 2

Bleached Phase Hologram

CLOSE BOTH OUTSIDE DOORS TO room 286C, TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS, AND WORK IN COMPLETE DARKNESS.

1. DEVELOP as before (steps 1-9 in procedure #1).
2. LIGHTS MAY BE TURNED ON WHEN BLEACHING
3. BLEACH: Agitate the plate in bleaching solution until the metallic silver has been completely converted from black to an almost clear blue. The bleaching solution is composed of 20 grams of cupric bromide (CuBr2) per liter of water.
4. WASH: Five (5) min. in running water.
5. PHOTO-FLO: One-half (1/2) min. with constant agitation.
6. DRY: Air dry at room temperature.
7. RETURN ALL CHEMICALS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTAINERS!

DO NOT POUR CHEMICALS DOWN THE DRAIN! POUR them BACK into their respective bottles!!!
