Contact microscopy is the most widely exploited technique. Modern contact microscopy differs from earlier contact microradiography in two main ways. Resist materials(often PMMA, the material used to make Plexiglas) permit resolution superior to that of the photographic films originally used... Microscopy using resist detectors was pioneered by...

... the first images were made by shining X rays through a specimen placed in contact with ordinary photographic film. The X rays that passed through the specimen exposed the film, and the resulting image could then be examined with a light microscope. This form of X-ray microscopy, known as contact microradiography, is still in use today. 2, record 3, English, - contact%20microradiography

Las primeras imagenes se realizaron [...] mediante la proyección de rayos X a través de un espécimen puesto en contacto con una película fotografía ordinaria. Los rayos X que atravesaban el espécimen impresionaban la película; la imagen resultante podía examinarse con un microscopio óptico. Esta forma de microscopía de rayos X, conocida como microradiografía de contacto, se sigue empleando todavía hoy en día. 1, record 3, Spanish, - microradiograf%C3%ADa%20de%20contacto
