Yes. I take a ditch at the bottom of which lies the glass, so as not to disrupt the emulsion. I'm showing signs of ditching. at the time of developer sheet begins to blacken at the edges in the center ostaptsi like mist not proyavlyaetsya to the end.

Сергей, я не специалист в рентгене, я только перевожу. Все склоняются к мнению ,что у вас неравномерное проявление. Во первых я бы убрал стекло из кюветы. Фильм достаточно прочная вещь и он не повpeдится если у кюветы дно не имеет каких нибудь крупных повреждений или царапин. Во вторых фильм в кювете должен всегда лежать фотослоем наверх. Покачивайте кювету за края из стороны в сторону чтобы фильм двигался в проявителе и следите чтобы фильм был погружен в проявитель и не всплывал на поверхность. Вполне возможно ,что в вашем случае фильм либо приклеился к стеклу или лежал на его поверхности и в этом месте доступ проявителя к поверхности фильма был весьма ограничен и как результат недопроявление. Опять же, я не специалист в этом фильме, Сергей Родионов может быть подскажет вам лучше. Свяжитесь с ним.

I google translated the Russian.

I don't believe in processing film emulsion down. Scratches. I slide the film in and down in the middle the solution. Usually no pushing down needed. Then gently lift each tray corner making waves.

That's what I wright Randy. Film in the tray with emulsion up. Unfortunately the Google translated it in absolutely opposite way.

Good! Glad google is not perfect.

I had a lot of questions when I started. Normal.

Sergei Rodionov was a big help to me. We met in person a few times.

I use kodak green, emulsion on both sides and very soft, so glass on the bottom of the tray is necessary.
