Hodges, has turned a Schmidt-type telescope into a highly efficient camera for making X-ray pictures of the human abdomen. The simplified system of lenses and concave mirror that can photograph the dimmest starlight is being used for quick, sharp snapshots of a faint, fluorescent screen...

The length of one curved bridge, sharp as a lighted boulevard, is more than 72,000 light-years (430,000 trillion miles...
