| copyboard | flat surface used to hold copy, equipped with a hinged glass cover to hold copy in place |
| camera lights | attached to the copyboard and used to illuminate copy |
| lensboard | holds the lens, diaphragm, and shutter |
| bellows | light-tight accordion-like chamber between the front case and camera back |
| ground glass | piece of ground or frosted glass that is positioned on the back of the camera to aid in focusing |
| film back | hinged gate that holds the film in place, usually by means of a vacuum |
| lensboard control | crank which changes the position of the lensboard for a correct size and properly focused image |
| copyboard control | crank which changes the position of the copyboard for a correct size and properly focused image |
| vacuum pump | vacuum device with the hose attached to the camera back |
| timer | timing device that is linked to the shutter |
| lens | one or more pieces of optical glass designed to collect and focus rays of light to form a sharp image on film |
| tapes | two narrow strips of think, flexible steel or plastic marked off in percentage units |
| line copy | back and white copy consisting of a single shade of black usually on a white background |
| halftone copy | black and white copy with intermediate shades of gray |
| full color copy | illustrative material where subject matter is represented in full color |
| darkroom timer | used to indicate elapsed time during processing or to operate or control darkroom equipment |
| thermometer | device used to measure the temperature of liquids |
| graduate | container used for mixing and measuring chemicals |
| safelight | enclosed darkroom lamp fitted with a filter to screen out light rays to which film and paper are sensitive |
| camera film | photosensitive material consisting of a light sensitive emulsion, clear base, and an antihalation coating |
| camera paper | sensitized material with opaque base used for reproduction processes |
| developer | solution used to turn the latent image into a visible image on exposed films |
| stop bath | weak solution of acetic acid, used in processing black and white film or paper; it stops development and prevents stains on paper making fixer last longer |
| fixer | solution that removes any light sensitive material not acted upon by light or developer |
| temperature control sink | source of running water with a built-in unit that cools or heats the water to desired temperature |
| viewing table | water-tight table equiped with ortho safe and white light |

| light trap | method of providing entrance and excit from a darkroom without allowing light to enter the darkroom |
| diffusion transfer processor | device that contains activator and is used primarily for processing diffusion transfer material |
| tray processing | hand method of processing film using three trays and a running water bath |
| automatic film processing | mechanical device for processing film automatically using developer, fixer, wash, and dryer |
| lith film | basic camera film providing high contrast negatives; has very narrow exposure latitute and required precise control in developer; and has a 2-part developer A & B |
| rapid access film | continuous tone film; has a high degree of latitude in processing and is the fastest system used for producing negatives; has a one-part developer |
