Thus if the Xrays from an 64 ELEMENTARY RADIOGRAPHY X-ray tube are directed on a part through a diaphragm, only the directrays strike the part, as in the cHagram study shown in Fig. 65. While,with the Friedlander shield, some of the secondary rays might strike thepart also. (Fig. 66.). > Fig. 65. D D D, direct ray. S S, secondary ray. 1 P, part.
