There is no one thing which so limits the usefulness of the radio-graph as its lack of good perspective. Hence our interest in stereoscopicradiography. Hence, also, our interest in plastic radiography. Plastic radiography is a method of making radiographs in such away that the parts stand out in has relief. A better name than plastic 1 ^r Fig. 353.

It is of no practical value whatever. The following are the steps in making a plasticradiograph. The negative is made as usual. Forconvenience in referring to it we shall call the nega-tive the first picture. From the first picture anotherpicture, the second picture, is made on a photographicplate, the technic for doing this being the same as for making lanternslides (sec Chap. Y). The first and second pictures are now placed to-ensitive ^ides in appositii n, held up to the lighl and movedabout until the parts of the two pictures overlie one another exactly. Theynow held immovable while an a^sistanl -ticks them together with STEREOSCOPIC RADIOGRAPHY 317 paper binding strips.
