X-ray absorption imaging of high-pressure lighting plasmas

X-ray absorption has been used to image the distribution of mercury (Hg) in high-pressure arc lamps used for lighting. Here, several images are presented showing the analytic transformation of raw X-ray data into an image of the Hg vapor density in a cylindrically symmetric arc.
