The market is plenty of different developers, I think the scales are
not necessary yet, perhaps for a no immediate future, but for that
case you'll need to manufacture your film as some photographers still
manufacture their daguerreotypes plates.
I also recommend "Photographic Chemistry" by Pierre Glafkides, he is a
very significant author on the topic and this is a bibliographic
reference:
" Glafkides, Pierre, Photographic Chemistry, 2 volumes, Fountain,
London 1958. Although hard to find, and rather expensive (see Mason
below for a relatively inexpensive alternative), it is by any standard
the premier work on the subject, with the first volume concerned with
black-and-white chemistry, and the second with color. Reference lists
are extensive, although some developer formulas are provided without
reference. The exhaustive chapter on emulsions with many formulas,
would be a good starting point for anyone interested in this field. "
