Using X-Ray to discover what's under painting's layers

Leonardo's Mona Lisa is magical - how?

Scientists at the Louvre Museum used X-Rays to study the thin layers of color Leonardo used to create highlights and shadows BELOW the top layers.. This layering technique created the "come alive experience", and created depth.. a totally unique method of artform for that time period.

Security ? !! at border crossings, airports -

Normal X-Ray misses the plastic gun, but backscatter looks at the densities created by x-rays bouncing back to a detector at the illumination source.. Can't hide with backscatter in process.

Seeing inside vehicles - some can do this while in motion

Looking inside tires and other "sealed" containers

Happy flying this Holiday Season
