| stereo-image for 'cross-eyed' viewing |
Monday 15th May. Went back to 2010 to look at some stereo images that I had generated at the time, like the one above. The thought had been triggered by Friday's visit to the Chiropractic clinic in Bramptom and a throwaway comment by one of the owners in the X-ray room on ultimately wanting images to be visible in 3D. Stereo-images using e-rays had already appeared in just a couple of years after Roentgens first picture in 1895. In fact they reached a peak in the 1930's. High dosage radiation risks cut the use of the treatment. However, with modern equipment, radiation dosages are much lower, with one x-ray being equivalent to the natural exposure to radiation over a couple of days. In fact taking 2 x-rays to get a stereograph is much lower radiation exposure than a CT scan.
I went for my first consultation at the clinic (see http://www.miltoncontact-blog.com/2017/05/skeleton-investigated-in-brampton.html). I took some of my stereographs along, both for cross viewing and also for viewing with a tablet and goggles.
Back home, Louise visiting to talk weddings. I was still feeling washed out after yesterday's migraine, so Jane took her home.
The breaking news in the evening was the revelation by 'The Washington Post'. President Donald Trum had bragged to his Russian visitors last week about information on ISIS. Unfortunately, this was provided by another security agency from another country. OOPS.
