test chemicals in development baths

Use specialised equipment to test the chemicals in the baths of a film developing machine in order to make sure that they are working properly.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

test film processing machines

Use precision instruments to determine the proper operation of photographic film processing machines.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

calibrate laboratory equipment

Calibrate laboratory equipment by comparing between measurements: one of known magnitude or correctness, made with a trusted device and a second measurement from another piece of laboratory equipment. Make the measurements in as similar a way as possible.
