Yes, your typical incandescent nite-light bulb can function as an X-ray tube if you put a high enough voltage up to it! This is a crude demonstration of how to use it as such. I got these bulbs from a special lighting store in the area for around 25 cents each (but are sold for a bit more money pretty much anyplace that sells light bulbs), although the high-voltage oudin/tesla coil device I use costs considerably more. I'm running it at it's maximum 50000 V in the demonstration. The metal box protects the Gamma Scout from the EMF fields that would otherwise cause it to go haywire, but it also filters out a large percentage of the bulb's emissions. Trying to measure the true strength of an X-ray device is difficult without film, which I don't have at my disposal right now! Remember, X-rays are dangerous!! Soft X-rays can cause radiation burns simular to Ultraviolet sunburns, except several layers into the skin deeper than UV can, while hard X-rays can penetrate through to your organs just like Gamma Radiation can!
