Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.

Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don't even have an electric charge)

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I don't know. If the gamma rays are absorbed and converted to electrons in the photo-sensor, it could also cause noise I suppose ?

It's kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980's sci-fi movie.

Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Aside from the film grain, I'm pretty impressed that the camera seemed to survive that and that the footage from it could be extracted like nothing of this nature had ever happened to the device.

Well, it WAS impressively shielded as well.

Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.

why the dogfuck did they not illuminate the hallway the camera goes through

[-] GorGor@startrek.website 8 points 1 day ago

because only product being irradiated goes there. no human should be in that area. plus with the lights off you see the ionized air. that would probably be washed out with another light source.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Why would they? Humans aren't supposed to be there

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 1 day ago

for the same reason they sent a camera into it... to assist with visualization 🤨
