Re: x-ray film

             I was just told by my friend that experimented with x-rays
that he thinks the film is probably regular ortho film but probably also
has a special coating of phosphorus as well..... The phosphorus is sensitive
to the energy source, lights up and then the ortho film then becomes
exposed...
        Some of the images he did that were very ghostly and quite
beautiful.... He seems to remember that they were extremely long exposures
on objects that were far away from his machine.............jc
