Great Regulars: The X-ray plate of the ten-year-old girl,

who has swallowed a toy car complete with driver, is one of the slides on display. Armitage likens it to a photograph of a human soul because there is no substance; the image is ethereal and other-worldly (inner-worldly). It is not hard to imagine that this could be what our soul might look like if only we could see it: a transparency of our corporeal form.
