Light-tight, chemical-proof container in which sensitive materials after loading in the dark are processed in normal lighting by solutions which are poured into and out of the tank.

OBS

The sensitive material is held in suitable reels (roll film and other long film lengths) or frames, baskets, etc. (sheet films, papers).

OBS

Although strictly speaking, the term "processing" has a wider meaning than "developing", it is generally considered as interchangeable with "developing" when qualifying "tank".

Récipient à l'épreuve de la lumière et des produits chimiques dans lequel on traite, dans des conditions normales d'éclairage, le matériel photosensible préalablement chargé dans la noirceur, en utilisant des solutions manipulées à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du contenant.
