Abstract

X-ray pictures are recorded and reproduced through techniques in which a housing, which contains a recording medium sensitive to X-rays is provided with an inlet window for the X-rays which consists of an electrode transparent for optical radiation. The housing is provided with an outlet window which is likewise transparent for optical radiation, and the recording medium is a thermoplastic layer which is arranged on an electrode also transparent for optical radiation on a similarly transparent substrate. The housing contains an inert gas at a pressure of at least 10 atmospheres.
