Those are pretty good pictures for such a setup. The broad focal spot gives the images an interesting look, maybe that could even be used to artistic effect, if your intention is making interesting-looking images. If you at some point want to get a purpose-made x-ray tube, note that x-ray heads can often be had for less than equivalent x-ray tubes on eBay. Another bonus is that they come with a nice power supply included, either an iron core transformer or a high frequency transformer + multiplier setup. |

Thanks! As for james_s, the 5 tubes that I used have all either lost vacuum or no longer produce bright images. They don't last very long. A long cool down time should help. |

Oh, yeah forget trying to use rectifier tubes to make xrays, why bother? I've bought complete dental xray heads for less than $100 before, you could easily spend that much killing other kinds of tubes and you'll get FAR better performance from the real deal. In addition if you buy a complete head you'll have something that is much more convenient to use and more importantly, much safer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gendex-x-ray-head/113322808953 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gendex-GX-900-Tube-Head-only-Dental-X-Ray-ge-INTRAORAL/372482456855 https://www.ebay.com/itm/MarksMan-I-SS-White-dental-X-ray-head-medical-xray/223205413866 |

You really used it on human flesh? That rather implies that the rest of you was in the close vicinity too. :palm: EDIT: Looking back to the OP, I see you are only 15. It might be time to grow up if you want to make it to16 - seriously, take it from those of us who know, cancer is no fun. |
