# I CAN SEE YOUR INSIDES!
I CAN CAUSE CANCER!

# I AM PREFERENTIALLY ABSORBED BY MATERIAL WITH A HIGHER ATOMIC NUMBER, THUS ALLOWING IMAGING OF THE HUMAN BODY

# Oooo hark at 'er with 'er university degree.

# Much of my degree is about the interaction of radiation with matter,
I couldn't help myself.

# Do they make sunglasses so you can see radiation rays yet?

# They probably could.
It'd be fucking expensive though. You could use scintillation crystals, probably.

# I'll need several thousand pounds.
And bacon. Lots of bacon.

# how many several?
I has all the bacon :)

# Enough to feed me through the construction process.
I'll also need bread, butter, and mayonnaise.

# Surely that would only allow you to see radiation which strikes the glasses though.
Which to be honest would be rubbish and about the same as a Geiger counter.
(Jeru War and Piss, Mon 19 May 2008, 20:24, archived)
# In the same way as your eyes only see light which strikes them.
It might be pretty.

# It wouldn't be the same
unless the crystals release a photon in the same direction the original radiation was traveling in. If not, they'd just be opaque glasses that light up.

If you could put a layer of these crystals over the retina, that might work.
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Mon 19 May 2008, 20:29, archived)
# That is true.
If the crystal were thin enough, it should give you a little blob of light around the interaction, if there's not too much reflection.
But if they were that thin, the amount of radiation you'd see would be a fraction of the amount destroying your eyes.

# You could build a pair of complete artificial eyes to wear in front of your real eyes
connected to some kind of screen on the back of the glasses.

# In this case, you may as well strap it to a little remote controlled thingumy,
so you don't have to go near the radioactivity.

# What!
And miss all the fun!

# Ok, ok, you can go in.
And you'll have a handy device showing you how badly you're being irradiated.

# Not only that, I could see exactly what was most radioactive
and run away from it or cosy up to it, according to taste. Might be handy in some kind of post-apocalyptic nightmare world.

# Not only that,
but I predict they'll make quite an impressive fashion statement.

# What he said.
(Jeru War and Piss, Mon 19 May 2008, 20:33, archived)
# Another idea is to put a collimator behind the crystal,
to absorb the photons which don't head straight to the eye after being produced in the crystal.
This kind of thing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Collimator.jpg

# needs more bacon

# That's all very well,
but the crystal would react to radiation coming from all angles, so it'd light up indiscriminately all over all the time.
...Needs a lens in front, possibly.
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Mon 19 May 2008, 20:46, archived)
# This is also true.
You'd need another collimator on the front, then.
I appreciate these glasses are becoming rather chunky and inefficient.

the waves n all

# Ah.
I suggest asking happytoast to make a nice animation of it.
