 Radiography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most common use of radiography is in the medical field (where it is known as medical imaging), but veterinarians and engineers also use it.
Industrial radiography is a nondestructive method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by using the ability of short wavelength electromagnetic radiation to penetrate various materials.
Defects such as delaminations and planar cracks are difficult to detect using radiography, which is why penetrants are often used to enhance the contrast in the detection of such defects.

 Non-Destructive Testing — Micro-Focus X-Radiography
In radiography, when clear images of fine detail are of paramount importance, the limiting factor - the geometry of the radiographic technique - often exceeds the resolving power of the finest film.
With micro-focus radiography, this geometric lack of sharpness is almost eliminated, and the technique offers greatly improved results in a broad range of applications.
Bodycote Radiography’s Burton upon Trent Laboratory has recently taken delivery of a new micro-focus radiography instrument, and its performance is enabling rapid and high quality testing of numerous components and objects, for example figure 1.
