Herringbone effect (zigzagad pattern) caused by placing film incorrectly with lead

portion facing the cone

Hydroquinone (developer)converts the exposed silver salts on the emulsion film
into silver metallic ions
Potassium bromide (restrainer) controls the action of the developing agent such
that the unexposed silver salts on the emulsion film are not removed.
developing solution include the developing agent, accelerator, restrainer, and

Sodium Carbonate (accelerator) is an alkali salt in the developing solution that
maintains the alkaline pH of the solution as well as provides ideal conditions for
reactions to occur.
