| Hey Dragon! I hear that x-rays are used in medicine. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| That's right Donkey, doctors use them to see inside people! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Ohhh! So doctors have x-ray vision! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| No Donkey, not exactly. They have machines which fire x-rays through the body and onto detectors! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Oh, that's clever! But how does the machine produce x-rays? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Thermo-electrons are accelerated into a metal plate, releasing Bremmstrahlung and characteristic radiation in the x-ray part of the electromagnetic Spectrum! | |
