The problem with the pin hole X ray use is that it assumes that the X-
rays are reflected isotropically, when often they are not, so the pin
hole image is a convolution of the spacial array of the surface with
the intensity of the X-ray reflected in that direction.
1) Which reflection? In my mind it is only a matter of blocking versus
unblocking of rays originating from different spots on the source.
2) A pin-hole can also be used to study a distribution of alpha and
beta radioactivity on a flat source.
