There are claims of the same thing happening with a liquid that had the same
index of refraction as flesh, In popular science and such in the 20's and
30's a picture of a bat and another of a hand in the solution gave an x-ray
like view.

One of the articles gave a good mixture of chemicals (I once had a half
hearted look at getting them) to make this liquid and I will be happy to
(try) find these articles if anyone would like more info.

By the way, does anyone know if 'Rex-Research' is still going?
