Homemade X- ray photography

in #xray7 years ago

Those pictures were made using the anode voltage of only 40kV and current 200uA, ie
anode power only 8W. X-ray cassettes described in previous article were used, serving as a
fluoroscope. First, cassete in its original condition was used (all photos except for the first
two), then one of the screens was took out from the cartridge kodak. It seems that it is better
when X-ray radiation does not pass cartridge body and goes directly on the screen :). In this
way first 2 photos where photographed and the brightness is visibly better. The shielding
effectiveness is carefully checked. The supply is remote controlled. The HV is set low to
make the radiation easy to shield.
