Re: 3 questions (one of them dumb)

Those black and white dye replacement films like XP2 are marked chromogenic, so I think it just means a regular c-41 type process. Rob, your answer #1 to my question about detecting distilled versus tap water is .... tantalizing. I don't feel I've gotten definitive instructions I can actually use, yet, tho yours above is certainly suggestive. (Advice to check for chlorine implies a simpler route, that is, if I knew how to detect chlorine!)3. Glycin is like p-amenophenol (the stuff in Rodinal) and Metol. It's related to glycine. Rob Meanwhile, would it be possible, I wonder, to repeat #1 in English? That is, explain what a "sensitive multimeter " is, and where I might find one. Would it cost more -- or less - than, say, a nuclear reactor, and would I need a course in advanced physics to read the results? Or would it come with instructions in the box ? On the other hand, would it be so "sensitive" as to detect all over the place, say the gas leak in our cellar, or the lead in our pipes? Or on the 3rd hand, would the shoemaker aroung the corner who also repairs watches and checks the batteries on some kind of "meter" in fact have a "sensitive multimeter" in hand? With much gratitude for any/all further info, Judy (who admits that she doesn't have a clue what a "regular C41 process" might be, but believes that, having managed to avoid that knowledge these many years, she can take your word for it, with, again, thanks.)
