Re: X-ray transparency info please

          Heber,
          
          I have zero experience or training in X-ray technology 
          (aside form what's in the physics books about Coolidge 
          tubes) but I'd think you could quantify transparency as 10 
          log P1/P2 where P1 is tube power needed for a given flux 
          with air as the attenuator, and P2 is tube power needed for 
          the same flux with your material inserted. I assume here 
          that flux is linear with beam power.  Does this sound 
          workable?
