radiograph \ra"diograph\ r=a"di^-ogra^f, n.
   radio- + -graph.
   1. an instrument for measuring and recording solar radiation.

   2. an image or picture produced upon a sensitive surface, as
      of a photographic or fluorescent plate, by some form of
      penetrating radiation other than light, as x-rays, beta
      rays, etc.; esp., a picture of the internal structure of
      opaque objects traversed by the rays; a skiagraph. when
      the picture is produced upon photographic film by x-rays,
      the picture is usually called an x-ray photo or x-ray.
      when an image is produced on photographic film by a
      radioactive substance in close proximity to the film, in a
      manner so as to record the spatial distribution of the
      radioactive substance, the resulting image is called an
      autoradiograph or autoradiogram.

   ray flower, or ray floret bot., one of the marginal

   roentgen ray, r"ontgen ray r~ent"ge^n r=a`
      phys., a form of electromagnetic radiation generated in
      a very highly exhausted vacuum tube by an electrical
      discharge; now more commonly called x-ray. it is
      composed of electromagnetic radiation of wavelength
      shorter than that of ultraviolet light but longer than
      that of gamma rays. it is capable of passing through many
      bodies opaque to light, and producing photographic and
      fluorescent effects by which means pictures showing the
      internal structure of opaque objects are made, called
      x-rays, radiographs, sciagraphs, x-ray photographs,
      radiograms. so called from the discoverer, w. c.
      r"ontgen.

   x ray, the r"ontgen ray; -- so called by its discoverer
      because of its enigmatical character, x being an algebraic
      symbol for an unknown quantity.

x ray \x ray\, x-ray \x-ray\e^ks"r=a`, n. so called by
   its discoverer because of its enigmatical character, x being
   an algebraic symbol for an unknown quantity. physics
   originally, any of the rays produced when cathode rays strike
   upon surface of a solid as a copper target or the wall of
   the vacuum tube; now defined as electromagnetic radiation
   with a wavelength of 0.1 to 10 nanometers. x-rays are noted
   for their penetration of many opaque substances, as wood and
   flesh, their action on photographic plates, and their
   fluorescent effects. they were called x rays by their
   discoverer, w. k. r"ontgen, but were also referred to for
   some time as roentgen rays. the term x-ray has become the
   most common designation. they also ionize gases, but cannot
   be reflected, or polarized, or deflected by a magnetic field.
   they are used in examining objects opaque to visible light,
   as for imaging bones or other structures inside the human
   body, and for detecting flaws in metal objects, such as in
   welds.
