After film is exposed, it is bathed in fixer, which causes the unexposed silver crystals to fall away from the film.
The fixer can be used until it becomes saturated with silver; it is then thrown away, often poured directly down drains.
PRS developed a method to separate all the silver from the fixer, allowing it to be completely reused.

  Joseph Bellows Gallery - Glossary
Exhausted fixer was a popular toning bath for both salted paper and albumen prints during this time and produced a variety of tones from red, through sepia and bistre, to deep purple depending on the length of toning, which ranged from an hour or two to as long as two or three days.
The photographic process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in September 1840, in which paper impregnated with silver iodide is sensitized by an aqueous solution containing silver nitrate, acetic acid, and gallic acid, exposed in the camera, and then developed as a negative with the same sensitizing solution.
In the process that came to be modified by photographers several years after Archer's publication, a mixture of ammonium or potassium and collodion was poured onto a glass plate, the coated plate was immersed in a bath of acidified silver nitrate for about three minutes and then withdrawn and exposed in the camera.

Photographic fixer is a chemical used in the final step in the photographic processing of film or paper.
The fixer removes the unexposed silver halide remaining on the negative or photographic paper, leaving behind the reduced metallic silver that forms the image.
Fixer is used for processing all commonly used films, including fl and white films, colour negative films (C41), colour reversal films (E6), and chromogenic films.

Fixer is one of the key photographic chemicals, nearly always almost straight sodium thiosulfate or ammonium thiosulfate.
Putting the film/paper through fixer is one of the last stages of development, and until processing the material through the fixer it is imperative to keep the material away from light.
For this reason, among others, the fixer is not often part of the crew unless the crew owns the town: that is, they have influence enough over the authorities and the city in general that they can run their game with relative impunity.

Most fixers are based on the thiosulophate ion especially Ammonium thiosulphate.
The fixer removes the unexposed silver halide remaining on the negative or photographic paper leaving behind the reduced metallic silver.
One disdvantage of the use of thiosluphate as fixers is their ability to dissolve elemental silver at a very slow rate.

 Photographic developer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In film developing, photographic developer (or just developer) is a chemical that makes the latent image on the film or print visible.
Some photographers add a pinch of sodium sulfite before dissolving the metol to prevent oxidation, but large amounts of sulfite in solution will prevent metol from dissolving.
In the early days of photography, a wide range of developing agents were used, including Chlorohydroquinone, ferrous oxalate, hydroxylamine, lactate of iron, ferrous citrate, Eikonogen, atchecin, resorcinol, antipyrin, acetanilid and Amidol (which unusually required midly acidic conditions).

 Projection Crystallography and Micrography with Digital Cameras
With the advent of digital cameras the process of using an enlarger as an improvised low-power transmission microscope merits to be revisited as there are many benefits to be derived from using the digital process for the capture of images under such a "microscope" but there are also potential pitfalls to be aware of.
If one has an "improvisators" mind, one of the major reasons for using a photographic enlarger as a microscope, or macroscope, is that most such darkroom instruments are being discarded in favor of digital scanners and printers and so they are becoming available on the used market for pennies on the dollar.
This can be easily done by making a photograph as indicated below and noting the limits of the image as recorded by the camera and identifying these same limits while looking at the projected image of the subject being photogrpahed as it looks under the enlarger while the focusing/composing block is in place.

The level of fixer exhaustion is expressed as the number of 8 x 10 inch albumen prints fixed in the bath prior to the fixation of the experimental samples for incubation.
The flening associated with the use of exhausted fixer may be the result of a partial conversion of the image to silver sulfide or the result of an enlargement of the image grains from a deposition of silver on the image from silver-thiosulfate complexes.
Loss of highlight detail during high humidity incubation was worse for the fresh fixer samples than for the moderately exhausted fixer samples; at very high levels of exhaustion highlight detail loss during 95% RH incubation exceeded that of the fresh fixer samples.

 Darkroom - Wikipixel
A darkroom is a given space, usually a separate area in a building or a vehicle, that is made dark so as to allow photographers to use light-sensitive materials to develop photographs and film.
Due to the relative complexity involved in processing colour film (see (C-41 process) and printing color photographs, and to the rise of first Polaroid technology and later digital photography, darkrooms are quickly decreasing in popularity amongst both the amateur and professional class.
It is during this initial exposure that the photo can be modified, mostly by burning (giving more light to specific parts of an image by exposing it while blocking light to the rest) and/or dodging (reducing light to a specific part of an image by blocking light to it).
