And (perhaps) the integrity of the photo-sensor semiconductor junctions on the surface of the image-sensor ... Some folks suspect (or, at least, speculate) that gamma-rays (more prevalent when at higher altitudes in an aircraft) may have led to an increase in "hot-pixels" in their image-sensor output.33dollars":3ak6z2xi said:Cool, that should kill any germs or fungus
The dosimeter badges are "tuned" to X and Gamma Ray wavelengths - which are between 100,000 to 10 Million times shorter than the very shortest Microwave radiation, and (correspondingly) have an energy between 100,000 to 10 Million times higher than that emitted in the case of the most energetic Microwave radiation:Marana":2uuwaknm said:... dosimeter badges, the ones that supposedly measure the rads you've been exposed to. Surprisingly enough, they always measured no rads. Well, one day my genius friend decided he had enough of being told "everything's fine," and nuked his dosimeter in the microwave for several minutes (forget how long.) Of course, that badge came back "clear" as well ...

Perhaps, if you're dead, they'll take the badge off of your dead, cold body and say there was "some" radiation. Have never seen it myself, though :lol:
