Most of them work by using a layer of amorphous selenium to convert the X-rays into electric charge. This "charge image" is then recorded using an array of transistors and other electronic components, akin to those used in some digital cameras.Saswato Das...
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard format for medical images and related data. DICOM files, commonly known as DCM files, store medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and more. Along with the actual pixel data, DCM files may also conta...
While ripping Blu-rays or DVDs generally doesn’t take too long, converting them does; it may take as long as the video’s duration, or even longer, depending on your Mac’s CPU. If you want to speed up the process, there’s a way to do this. Handbrake is based on ffmpeg, which...
The other type of electromagnetic radiation I have to discuss is x-rays. X-Rays are produced when electrons dump a large amount of energy into a single photon, thus creating a very high energy light particle. X-Rays are a lot like regular light: they travel in straight lines, can be re...
When a dentist takes a radiograph, a tooth’s hard mineralized tissues will block some of the radiation (x-rays) that have been aimed through them. Due to this effect, those portions of the x-ray film (or digital image receptor, the more modern way to take an x-ray), that lie behin...
Popular Photography has offered high-quality how-to articles, gear reviews, and photography inspiration since 1937.
The waves produced by these scanners are much larger than X-rays and are of the non-ionizing variety. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, but radio waves, visible light and microwaves don't have this ability. As a result, they don't alter the structure of...

Try not to think too hard about it. But, wait, there's more! Just before you dive into our guide into how to watch the MCU in chronological order there's some housekeeping and notes to take in: The I Am Groot short 'First Steps' takes place before Guardians 2, while the rest of ...
But using a small aperture also means that your camera will require more time to take the photo. The longer the image takes, the more chance there is for camera shake to cause blur. If you are handholding your camera, this could be a problem. When your camera is on atripod, there is...
