Thermal X-Ray experiment

I'm playing around with a cheap USB charger as a test target for X-Ray imaging. When I actually used the charger for its intended purpose I noticed it got rather warm to the touch, so I thought I'd try taking a thermal image and combining that with an X-Ray picture. I think the result is quite pretty!

 

So, this image is made by employing wavelengths ranging from 14µm to 30pm.

 

The X-Ray was made with a heavily modified Scanmax 20 mailroom X-Ray scanner. The thermal image, obtained when the charger had been on for about an hour, was made with a Therm-App thermal imager using ThermApp Plus software. The images were combined in PaintShop Pro.

 

Comments are warmly welcomed.
