You are talking about an X-ray negative . . . it is exactly the same as a photograph negative, but instead of using light to expose the negative film like an everyday camera, it uses an X-ray machine to expose the negative film. In either case, you develop the film with, well, developer, rinse it to stop the developer, then bathe it in a bath of acetic acid (like vinegar) to make the image not be sensitive to xrays (or light) anymore.

What causes gritty x ray film?

depleted fixer solution


Developer solution was contaminated by fixer what would happen to the image?

Your image might not develop at all. If your developer has been contaminated by fixer you should discard the solution and mix up fresh before developing your film. Fixer is acid. Developer is alkaline. All other things aside, the acid in fixer will neutralize at least some of the alkali in developer, causing the developer to slow down or stop working altogether. Your image would either be underdeveloped (at best) or not developed at all.As an aside, one reason for using a mildly acid stop bath between the developer and the fixer is to neutralize the alkali in the developer before it's carried into the fixer. This will make your fixing bath last longer.

In Fixer you can find Sodium thiosulfate :Na2S2O3·5H2O and Ammonium thiosulfate: (NH4)2S2O3 for black and white photography, in purpose to remove unexposed silver halide.They can not be found in developer ! In Developer for black and white photography: Metol,Phenidone and Hidroquinone for purpose chemical that makes the latent image on the film or print visible!

Is film developing has to use fixer or only developer and stop can do the work?

You must use fixer. If you don't, the undeveloped silver halide will remain in the film, and you won't be able to get light through it--hence the negatives will be useless.
