Scanning old negatives and X-rays

Scanning old negatives and X-rays · Proposed air date:

A caller wants to preserve 1930s and 1940s medium-format negatives and accepts that scanning them one by one will take time because it gives him direct control over each image. Dr. Dave then reveals his own experiment: scanning back X-rays with a transparency light so he can keep digital copies in his personal files, while joking about adding mysterious details for the doctor.
