X-ray photography

X-rays find wide applications in X-ray photography and in crystallography. Prolonged exposure of the human body to the rays induces a dangerous form of dermatitis, and even sterility, but controlled exposures are applied to alleviate cancer.

After a satisfactory verification film is produced, an assembly may be fabricated specifically for destructive inspection to validate that the verification film was accurate. This correlation allows the use of verification film rather than more expensive destructive inspection for future changes such as duplicate tool fabrication and tool or detail modification. Simple assemblies are usually not destructively inspected because of high confidence that the verification film is entirely representative of the expected bondlines. Complex or large parts may not be destructively inspected because of the cost of the details and assembly time. In these cases other means of validating the verification film are used. Meticulous pre-bond detail and post-bond assembly thickness measurements may be sufficient to prove bondline thickness control. Ultrasonic inspection and X-ray photography (discussed previously) may be sufficient to prove that details are in the correct places and bonds are good. 

When a visible light flash cannot be applied because extreme lighting obliterates the effect under study, one resorts to " X- Ray Photography , also known as "Radiography of High Speed Event . It is briefly described on pC17-R of Vol 2.

Some uses of the lanthanides, such as in certain steel alloys or as cigarette lighter flints, require no separation of the metals as obtained from certain ores. In other applications, such as phosphors for television screens, medical immunoassays, X-ray photography, and, of course, the study of their chemistry, the individual elements must be separated.7... 

Bromine trifluoride dissolved the pentafluoride to give a deep red solution. When the excess of solvent was removed under vacuum the residue was the 2 1 bromine trifluoride-platinum tetrafluoride adduct, which was identified by X-ray photography. 

Use Weighting mud in oil-drilling, paper coatings, paints, filler and delustrant for textiles, rubber, plastics and lithograph inks, base for lake colors, X-ray photography, opaque medium for gastrointestinal radiography, in battery plate expanders. 

Use Pigment and in X-ray photography for manufacturing of intensifying and phosphorescent screens. 

This is the reaction used in industry to form barium sulfate, which is used in paint preparations and in x-ray photography. 

These methods become especially advantageous in measuring the surface tension at high temperatures [22], In order to establish the values of the required parameters, the drops are photographed, using either optical devices with a long focal distance, or X-rays photography. 

OTHER COMMENTS used in the manufacture of cellophane and photographic papers useful as a filler for rubber, linoleum, textiles, plastics, and lithograph inks also used as a water-color pigment for colored paper and in wallpaper other uses include x-ray photography and as an opaque medium for gastrointestinal radiography. 

After these examples of X-ray photography, you will not be surprised to learn that a and y radiation can also be detected by luminescent ntaterials, which, in this ca.se, ate usually called scintillators and are often in the fonn of large single crystals. 1 he applications range from medical diagnostics (for example positron emission tomog-... 

Samses of Tussah silk (Antherea pemyi) were kindly supplied by Prof. S. Mizushima of the University of Tokyo. For X-ray photography, degummed fibers (Schroeder Kay, 1956) were arranged in the form of a bundle about 0-5 mm. in diameter. Diffraction photographs were taken in an evacuated 3-cm.-radios camera and in a helium-filled lO-cm.-radius camera with nickel-filtered copper K(x radiation (A=1 6418 A).
