POP emulsions use very fine grain emulsions, which have a particularly poor sensitivity to x-ray, gamma ray, cosmic ray, beta particles, etc. I can imagine the emulsion may print out if you irradiate with low energy electron beam or alpha particles of any energy level, or a very high flux of any radiation, but otherwise, these radiations do not print out image like UV light. > How about to the x-rays that checked luggage is subjected to > on airlines? I don't want to be held responsible, but I don't think this is an issue. I would not put any material for development process to a powerful x-ray scanner, though. -- Ryuji Suzuki "Make something religious and people don't have to deal with it, they can say it's irrelevant."
