X-Ray

SWPP Photographic Glossary

X-rays are electromagnetic radiations with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet light. When passed through a solid object and captured on a sensitive photographic emulsion, they create a shadow image revealing the internal structure of the object.

Photographers, medical professionals, and researchers use X-rays to examine bones, materials, and hidden details without physically altering the subject. Understanding X-ray imaging is essential for applications in medical diagnostics, industrial inspection, and scientific analysis.
