Floral Radiography – Revealing the hidden structures of plants.

Floral Radiography

Floral Radiography affords the possibility to take a glimpse into the internal architecture of the leaves, stems and flowers of Plants. Having the structure of fine gossamer, we might recall the delicate meshes of an output from a particle system or render from a Perlin Noise experiment. Pioneers in this specialised field of photography include Albert G. Richards, and more recently Steven N. Meyers. A short paper, Floral Radiography: Using X rays to Create Fine Art by Merrille C Raikes, gives a concise account of the history and techniques involved in this process.
