I'm glad this Parker 51 appears to not have been injured in its accident! Who was the emergency physician who ordered the x-ray?

 

Or is this the results of your treatment?

 

Cool image!

Very cool, Prof!

 

Betty beat me to what I was going to say. Are we right?

DUDE! That's just cool!

 

What would be even more interesting (to me) is an x-ray with someone holding the pen as if they were writing.

 

Going to show this one to the wife & kids. Great idea bud.

That is just amazing, can't tell for sure but maybe an Aero "51" to add a bit more to the description?

 

Come on put us out of our misery :D

I have no idea what it is but I reckon we need a full blood count, U&Es, possibly a viral screen and contact the next of kin - stat! Meanwhile, get him into resus and call the on call geriatric registrar...

Have we been watching a little too much ER? Grays Anatomy maybe? Dr. talk must be universal it sounded like you were speaking English there peachez :lol: You lost your accent for a moment. I was waiting for one of those Brit punctuations! Like "Get him on a trolley, and order a noggin scan. Post a bobbie to guard the (ooops)." :blink: I am having Austin Powers flash backs! :blush:

Best use of a pen:

In an X-ray, radio-opaque things look dark, not light. In this picture, the radio-opaque things look dark, not light.

 

I can see the hood, nib, feed, and collector, but I cannot see the breather tube. Therefore, the breather tube is either missing, or else it is not radio-opaque. I believe that the breather tube is missing.

No breather tube means bad news... it shall die very fast (first symptom, ink turns blue from the usual red... and finally and premortem, into Noodlers black) unless Kevin performs a a sectionostomy at the emergency department... ¿got insurance?... B)

 

BTW, very nice picture...

Peachez wrote that she used to be a registered nurse. She might watch ER as well though.

Parker 51 Special with the breather tube was removed. This is a machine that has a great resolution capability (down to 1/20 of the diameter of human hair) but the sample size is limited (50mmx50mmx50mm), so the breather tube did not fit in the field of view. I will get back "soon" with more pictures.

 

DWL check here for a hand+pen x-ray.

Do I see a case of acute misalignedtinusite ?

Cutting the tine would be a tinotomy. Removal of the tine would be an tinectomy. Inflammation of the tine would be tinitis. :)

Davyr,

 

You caught the real essence of this photo - the resolution.

It is a X-ray microCT system with a 10MP CCD camera.

Maximum resolution 1.5 micron pixel size, or 5 micron low contrast resolution :)

Unfortunately maximum specimen size is 50mm x 60mm x 60mm.

Full resolution of available space generates up to 50+ GB data per specimen :)

CT photos coming :)9

 

Sorry for bubbling in geekish...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
