- Has anyone heard of the use of radioactive isotopes in the production of
- lenses? I'm especially interested if anyone knows of an instance of the
- use of Thorium Oxide.
- Has anyone encountered unusually high levels of radioactivity in a
- certian type of camera ??
- Can anyone tell me what the optical reasons may be for the use of
- this isotope (or anyother for that matter) ???
-
- I'm just curious,
