Xrays Of Montblanc

[omarcenaro]

I know many of y'all have stayed up at night thinking "I wonder what a Montblanc looks like when x-rayed". Well, I am here today to finally answer this age old question, lol. As I am the Chief (and the Indian) of Radiology where I work I said lets do it. Actually, several times during the week I fire a test shot of the x-ray equipment after its been restarted or calibrated in the morning in order to confirm that its ready to shot during the day. Usually I shot my Iphone or keys. Today I had my 147 Traveller that had not been inked up yet and thought lets tested on that. Well, here are the results:

Hope y'all enjoyed that. As I bring in other pens I will xrays them as well.

Cheer,

That's great! A perfect 'info-diagram'.

 

Looking forward to seeing others.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Really investing and nice photos indeed

 

Thank you.

Nice contrast. It's pretty remarkable that you can seen the Montblanc name on the cartridge carrier, given that the amount of metal removed is so negligible.

Should really be interesting to do the same thing with an heritage 1912/1914 to see the mechanism inside the pen to retract the pen and fill in it.

I thought the same thing. Actually I thought that the metal parts would just show up as white because the xrays would not have penetrated the metal. However the xray photons went through some of the metal (represented as black) in the nib and carrier so that is why we can read it.

Thank you, Doc Ozzy. I love this kind of behavior, especially while at work! We need more of it! Eager for you to show us more fountain pen porn. Thanks again. Best wishes, Barry

Fun to see the innards of this particular pen. Thank you for sharing. What's the next pen for tomorrow?

[thygreyt]

wow! great!

 

Is there a way for you to get a 1912 or 1914? That would be amazing!

[Zaphodbebullbrox]

Oh, now that is so cool, but is it now radioactive?!?

I only have a few Montblancs. But if someone would like to send me a 1912/1914 etc I will gladly xray them and send back.

Lol, no. If not I would already be glowing. The majority of the x-ray photons pass through the object, no radioactivity is left.

[Sleebus]

This is really cool stuff. Looking forward to more!

So you've found a way to convert your MB 147 Traveller into a Skeleton?

[Tasmith]

Very cool!

[rhitee93]

A demonstrator has nothing on that

Thanks for sharing!

[PAKMAN]

Finally an easy to see how much ink you have left! LOL

Love the Pictures! Thanks!

[RocketRyan]
