D. Darkrooms

D.1. Clean up after yourselves! Photographic chemicals may look clear when liquid but will stain surfaces and dry to a powder and contaminate the entire room.

D.2 Users are to provide their own photographic paper and film.

D.3 Developer is to be disposed of down the drain.

D.4 Exhausted stop bath turns blue/purple and must be disposed of down the drain.

D.5 Fixer is to be tested with hypocheck solution. When bad it is dumped into the 5 gallon plastic carboys for disposal (NOT down the drain).

D.6 Empty bottles. When a gallon bottle of chemicals is emptied it is to be placed outside of darkroom doorways (Elves will come and replace the chemicals).

D.7 The TEM Negative chemicals are monitored by the EMF staff, and are disposed of based on either age or usage and replaced by the EMF staff.

D.8 The EMF darkrooms are available to everyone within Miami University for all types of photographic work (i.e. not restricted to microscopy).

D.9 Each darkroom is equipped to handle nearly all film formats from 16mm (110) to 5"x7". If you have an unusual film format please contact the EMF Staff for assistance.
