In a unadulterated world , anyone who send in a Pearl Buck for those novelty x - light beam spectacles push in the back of comic books would be gift with the actual power to see through solid stuff . In realness , we have to trust on the forgivingness of folks with real tech for a peek . So : Thanks , Smithsonian !
The ethnical institution ’s National Collection of Fishes is full of four million aquatic specimens , and specialist Sandra Raredon has been doing radiography on them for almost 25 years . Now , 40 photographic print are part of a new exhibition call — what else — X - ray Vision : Pisces Inside Out . Thanks to the internet ( yay ! ) , you could check out a nerveless excerption onFlickr , each of which come consummate with a suction stop through to an entry on theEncyclopedia of Life ; there you ’ll see scores of additional info about each see - through organism , along with a pic of the tool in its normal , opaque state .
