Radiography is like taking a photo of something, but instead of using light, we use special rays called X-rays. Cultural objects are things that people made a long time ago that are important for learning about history and culture, like old books or artifacts.
When we radiograph cultural objects, we place them on a special plate and shine X-rays through them. These X-rays go through the object and hit the plate, creating a picture. This picture shows us what's inside the object, like hidden details or parts that we can't see with our eyes.
By looking at this picture, we can learn more about the object and the people who made it. For example, we might find out how it was made, what materials were used, or what it was used for. This helps us understand more about history and culture, and helps us preserve these important objects for future generations.
