X-ray specs. X-ray specs or X-ray glasses are an American novelty item, purported to allow users to see through or into solid objects. In reality, the spectacles merely create an optical illusion; no X-rays are involved. The current paper version is sold under the name "X-Ray Spex"; a similar product is sold under the name "X-Ray Gogs".
X-Ray is a reference tool, introduced in September 2011, [1] that is incorporated in the Amazon Kindle Touch and later models, Kindle apps for mobile platforms, Amazon Fire tablets, Fire TVs and Amazon Prime Video streaming apps, and the discontinued Fire Phone. On the Kindle, general reference information is preloaded into a small file on the ...
Synchrotron light source. A synchrotron light source is a source of electromagnetic radiation (EM) usually produced by a storage ring, [1] for scientific and technical purposes. First observed in synchrotrons, synchrotron light is now produced by storage rings and other specialized particle accelerators, typically accelerating electrons.
This is Camp X-Ray. Coordinates: 53.4666°N 2.2479°W. This is Camp X-Ray is an art installation created by the artist Jai Redman, a member of the Ultimate Holding Company (UHC) art collective. [1] The installation was a full-scale replica of part of the United States military Guantanamo Bay detainment camp, [2] and featured actors performing ...
Schuller's view is a lateral radiographic view of skull principally used for viewing mastoid cells. [1] The central beam of X-rays passes from one side of the head and is at an angle of 25° caudad to the radiographic plate. This angulation prevents overlap of images of the two mastoid bones. The radiograph for each mastoid is taken separately.
X-ray laser. An X-ray laser can be created by several methods either in hot, dense plasmas or as a free-electron laser in an accelerator. This article describes the x-ray lasers in plasmas, only. The plasma x-ray lasers rely on stimulated emission to generate or amplify coherent, directional, high-brightness electromagnetic radiation in the ...
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS) is a surface-sensitive quantitative spectroscopic technique that measures the very topmost 200 atoms, 0.01 um, 10 nm of any surface. XPS is based on the photoelectric effect that can identify the elements that exist within a material (elemental composition) or are covering its surface, as well as their ...
Caldwell's view. Caldwell's view (or Occipitofrontal view) is a radiographic view of the skull where the X-ray plate is perpendicular to the orbitomeatal line. The rays pass from behind the head and are angled at 15-20° to the radiographic plate. It is commonly used to get better view of the ethmoid and frontal sinuses. [1]
