One immediate application of this lens-less X-ray microscope is the development of smaller, data storage devices for computers that can hold more memory. As the spaces between the domains get smaller, computer engineers can store more data. Magnetic domains appear like the repeating swirls of fingerprint ridges. In other words, we can see magnetic structure at the nanoscale level without using any lenses.” “But what we did is to show that for the first time that we can image magnetic domains with nanometer precision. “The mathematics behind this is somewhat complicated,” said Oleg Shpyrko, an assistant professor of physics at UC San Diego who headed the research team. The scientists report in a paper published in this week’s early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that this computer program, or algorithm, is able to convert the diffraction patterns produced by the X-rays bouncing off the nanoscale structures into resolvable images. What’s unusual about this new, nanoscale, X-ray microscope is that the images are not produced by a lens, but by means of a powerful computer program. Ultra Boy - Ultra Boy was a superhero who had powers similar to Superboy, including a version of x-ray vision called Penetra-Vision.Physicists at UC San Diego have developed a new kind of X-ray microscope that can penetrate deep within materials like Superman’s fabled X-ray vision and see minute details at the scale of a single nanometer, or one billionth of a meter.īut that’s not all.Olga Mesmer - Olga Mesmer is the first superhero to have this power.Superman - Superman is the most famous superhero to possess x-ray vision.the x-ray vision is quite a literal name, meaning that in using it there is a risk of spreading an unhealthy amount of radiation. However, this can also be used to an advantage in one instance, the Joker plotted to use coffins lined with lead to hide bombs from Superman, but Superman was able to identify which coffins contained bombs by checking which he couldn't see though. In the case of Superman, his x-ray vision cannot see through lead. Sometimes, there are objects that cannot be seen through.Later, in the film Superman, the title character reveals that his power allowed him to know the color of her underwear. Later, this power would become the reason that Superman did not join World War II, as Superman tried to enlist in the military as Clark Kent, only to accidentally use his x-ray vision during the eye test and read the eye chart in the room over. Superman used his x-ray powers for the first time in 1939 in Action Comics #11. Olga, a half alien living on Earth, uses her x-ray eyes to fight crime. Though Superman is the most iconic superhero with this power, the first major comic hero with x-ray vision was Olga Mesmer in the pulp magazine comic strip Spicy Mysteries. In most cases, the power of what can be seen through is selective, making it seem to the user that some matter has become transparent and the images the user sees have a level of clarity and detail that would be unavailable to actual x-rays, including color and space. Any superhero with actual x-ray eyes might be seen as less heroic if he were casually exposing people to x-rays and risking their health. In many cases, this is because x-rays (or x-radiation) can be harmful to humans if one is over-exposed.
It should be noted that the power is not always literally x-ray vision, but a shorthand for the power to see through solid matter. It is the ability to see through opaque matter as if it were transparent.
X-Ray Vision (also referred to as penetration vision and transparent vision) is a common superpower among superheroes.
Ultra Boy and Superboy use their ability to see through matter to discover each other's identities.
