ABSTRACT:
A compact developing apparatus that can quickly modify processing chemistries is disclosed. A web coated with a photograph emulsion or other photosensitive material forms one wall of a processing chamber and processing chemicals are introduced sequentially into the stationary chamber. The heating of the processing chemicals to their required temperatures is accomplished by applying microwave energy to the chemicals upstream of the chamber. The heating is controlled by a programmed digital computer to provide forward and backward feedback control of the microwave output in response to temperature and flow rate measurements.
