My guess is it's not going to be very good for photographic use.Īerials films are a better choice but do tend to be contrastier and have low blue sensitivity. Resolution is lower too and this is why I use FP-4 and HP-5 for my applications where long scale and highe resolution with fine grain are needed to capture the finest details of my subject. Contrast does tend to be higher and grain is not as good as photographic films. To my knowledge all x-ray films have odd spectral sensitivity and may not even be orthochromatic. In this case x-ray sensitivity is highest. In industrial use the film often has to be wrapped around a pipe or object and no screen can be used. ![]() Most of the exposure is from the light not x-rays. In the medical industry an intensifying screen that fluoresces when struck by x-rays is used in a film holder on each side of the film (double coated film) and the screen either fluoresces blue or green depending on the screen. X-ray film for medical use is more light sensitive to the blue or green than to x-rays where as industrial is less sensitive to visible light and more to x-rays. Resolution of x-ray film, particularly double sised, is not as good as say HP5 which I use a great deal in my art. the catch to x-ray film is it's either high green sensitivity pr high blue sensitivity depending on the application and screen system used. It's true that most ,edical x-ray films are coated on both sides but mammography films are single side coated. This light-tight, moisture proof and greaseproof packaging without Pb screen is ideal for exposures using radiation energy lower than 100kV. and have plenty of experience with x-ray films. I work a great deal with x-rays producing art. Oh yeah, one last thing, Kodak touts this as T-grain tech ![]() Unique high resistance to pressure, scratching and creasing. For exposure with lead screens, using either X-Ray, gamma rays or radiation from megavolt equipment. Suitable for a wide variety of critical applications. Whudda THEY mean by "high contrast" "high speed" and "fine grain" ? I can accept "fine grain" for basic ortho emulsions, and would guess "high contrast" could be tamed in manual processing with familiar developers like D76 or Xtol- I've made aerial film so behave, but what is "high" for speed.? AGFA Structurix D4 Film Structurix D4 Film Ultra fine grain film with very high contrast. The NDT and health folks just don't speak in terms that pictorialists use. I'll continue to investigate cuz Fuji and Agfa still list similar products. Then again that's waaay too $much to try for pictorial work without some better idea of suitability for pictorial use. Sadly, Industrex appears to be too thick for camera rolls.īut it's CHEAP -less than $300 for 150 meters. I surfed for this account the NDT folks use various widths of roll film and I've not found 70mm recently that didn't have a HUGE minimum quantity. One weird website descibes it as single side emulsion, but the data sheets I've looked at say overcoated 2 sides on sheet film base. G135 D/A - 2 x 5L bottles D/B - 2 x 0.5L bottles D/C - 2 x 0.Industrex is used for nondestructive testing, that is, x raying welds, castings etc for, well, industry It's apparently made to survive abuse and nasty climate conditions.G335 2x5L bottles and 2x1.25L bottles - Fixing Bath/Replenisher.For exposure with lead screens, using either X-ray or gamma rays. Designed for direct exposure or with lead screens. 100 sheets in a boxĭ7 - Fine grain film with high contrast and high speed. This film is intended for use with lead screens, using either x-ray or gamma rays. Excellent for visualization of discontinuities. 100 sheets in a boxĭ5 - Very fine grain with high contrast.
