    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_optics

    X-ray optics is the branch of optics dealing with X-rays, rather than visible light.It deals with focusing and other ways of manipulating the X-ray beams for research techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, X-ray fluorescence, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray microscopy, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, and X-ray astronomy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_GNOME

    Eye of GNOME is the former default image viewer for the GNOME desktop environment, where it had also been known as Image Viewer. It has been superseded by Loupe in GNOME 45. [ 2 ] There is also another official image viewer for GNOME called gThumb that has more advanced features like image organizing and image editing functions.

  4. Shoe-fitting fluoroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope

    The x-ray tube was removed to render the apparatus harmless before being put on public display, due to the possible risk of radiation burn or other health problems if it were switched on. The risk of radiation burns to extremities was known since Wilhelm Röntgen 's 1895 experiment, but this was a short-term effect with early warning from ...
