X-Ray Photography of Nature by Former Medical Physicist Arie van ‘t Riet

Nature is fascinating and being able to study it from different perspectives is an opportunity not many people get. Luckily for us, we get to see the enchanting results of those explorations that are no less valuable than the journeys themselves. In this article, we want to showcase the enchanting photographs taken by Dutch physicist Arie van ‘t Riet. He is a man whose work had taken him on a journey to becoming an artist. Arie specialized in low-energy X-rays in hospitals when he hit upon an interesting form of art. The artist went on to x-ray flowers, insects, lizards, turtles, cats and other animals, creating beautiful works of art he calls “bioramas”.
