X-ray crystallography in which the pattern produced by the diffraction of X-rays through the closely spaced lattice of atoms in a crystal is recorded and then analyzed to reveal the nature of that lattice.


X-ray astronomy, which is an observational branch of astronomy, which deals with the study of X-ray emission from celestial objects.


X-ray microscopic analysis, which uses electromagnetic radiation in the soft X-ray band to produce images of very small objects.


X-ray fluorescence, a technique in which x-rays are generated within a specimen and detected. The outgoing energy of the x-ray can be used to identify the composition of the sample.


Paintings are often X-rayed to reveal the underdrawing and pentimenti or alterations in the course of painting, or by later restorers. Many pigments such as lead white show well in X-ray photographs.
Reply:The welds on huge stainless steel pipes of nuclear plant vessels and vessel welds must be near perfect and are all x-rayed. The radio-graphs (x-ray photos) can be evaluated for flaws that must be corrected. In fact welders must practice each special weld which is x-rayed to qualify the welder and the weld process. X-rays may also be used to inspect packages at airports for contraband. X-rays arriving from outer space (perhaps from the center of our galaxy) are used to better describe what can not be seen with a telescope. X-rays are also used to identify crystal structures (minerals) because the interaction with ordered atoms or molecules can produce characteristic patterns on film, etc.
Reply:Found a new website that has information about medical research studies.

Reply:Sure. Pipelines and airplane wings are x-rayed routinely.
