x-ray

Seeing inside or through a normally opaque barrier, as if by x-ray vision. Examples: skin, bone, armor, metal containers, concrete walls...

Typically rendered as a partially transparent overlay, or a cut-out. The internal and external views should always be overlapping. Rule of thumb: It's x-ray if Superman could see it with x-ray vision.

Use x-ray film for the images taken with actual x-ray devices (or any medical device that takes cross-section images).

Disambiguation

• Wet, sheer, or clear clothing only qualifies as see-through because it has natural transparency.
• A cut-out internal view separated from the main image only qualifies as cross-section because it doesn't show the external barrier.
• Slime girl is a class by itself.
