Rob writes in with how to make radiographs on Polaroid film – “The neat discovery is not that you can buy x-ray machines off eBay. The neat discovery is that you can use Polaroid film to image x-rays!” That pretty much says it all. “ – Link.

Thank you so much for this info. I actually emailed someone concerning radiography recently. This is awesome.
you might be able to buy the machines on e-bay, but all states require that you have a permit for an x-ray tube(yeah yeah, feign ignorance when the govt. comes knocking, i know.).
if your tube blows, i don’t know how easy it will be to get another one, unless of course those are for sale on e-bay as well.
