W hat part of the camera is the most important part to survey after each exposure?

1

W hat part of the camera is the most important part to survey after each exposure?

1

To do a proper survey after each exposure, you should: Survey all sides of the camera and the entire length of the source tube.

Ball stop: Prevents the source from being pulled out the back of the camera and locks it.

1

Safety Plug: Goes into the _________ of the camera to secure the source and keep out dirt.

What will increase the flow of electrons?

1

If you increase the mA, you shorten the exposure proportionally {5mA to 10mA will cut the exposure time in half).
