I'd like to hear a consensus on the use of pyro with the cheap 2-sided green stuff Randy Moe is using. I mean Pyrocat, or Pyrocat HD, or whatever it's called.

Thanks, Randy :) as of times.. Well.. I am trying one theory here. Times will get longer very soon as i need to gather data from other end.Quote:

btw. not x-ray related, but on same note on "what I do" - I am going to be part of month long exhibition "Fantastic Realism" in Lumin Arte Gallery in Dallas (http://www.luminarte.com/home.html). Starting on 25th of May.
Mostly digital stuff there (ok, one LF image, i was lazy) from me but there are other folks - its mix of photography and paintings. If you will be around, feel free to drop by and check things out ;)
I wish I could stop by.
Congratulations!
Fantastic Realism Indeed!

If your mask is in that area it could be the reason why its not working.

Umm.. they are many things, but pinholes they arent. Its about 5-7mm opening that runs along the edge. If you block it - scanner is unable to calibrate for transparencies. Fine for reflectives, of course.
it isnt, btw.. It is pretty much just a guide mask to show you where openings for calibration should be left. Theoretically it might also help you with some odd light spills, but i never saw it working that way.Quote:

NO The only way any form of light if emitted is when the particle hits one of the screens. They will emit a Blue, or Green color. Thats why film is Blue or Green sensitive.
Third, the springs push the screens together ( one on each side ) to sandwich the film in the middle. That's why medical x-ray film has emulsion on both sides. My question, what are you refering to as a opaque material? Could you have met the screens, or the film? Don't ask me about what they use now. Its all digital, I'm from the film age. I was talking with a x-ray student about making an immage with modern day equepment. I tll ya, it was like he was talking in a differunt language. Now for your last question about film holders. They are everywhere. With the age of filmless
technology, they are almost reduced to garbage. I was looking for some empty 8x10 box's, and it was extremely
difficult. I did only manage to get one mamo box ( which is not 8x10, they are smaller) and I got one empty 8x10. I felt lucky to get that. If I can be of any help, keep the questions coming. Seattle man...Rde
I checked the other masks that come with V700 and other sizes, less than 8X10 do have pinholes, in a variety of patterns. All have the hinge side 7mm gap, and then pinholes after the gap.
As I understand it, V700/750 has 2 lenses, one that is utilized for more resolution with smaller negs.
Perhaps we can hack the mask into giving better resolution with 8x10.
And why did they ignore 5x7
