Narrator:Listen to the following discussion about a new type of camera.

First Man:This camera is special;it does much more than just photograph                                     thongs.See ,it looks normal enough,it's smaller than a regular video                             camera,and it doesn't weigh much,but you can use it to photograph                             the unseen.Do you know what I mean by that?

Woman:It photographs through solids.

First man:That's right,it's a technological breakthrough that can scan objects as                             deep as 25 feet underground or inside walls.It works much like radar.

Second Man:How does it do that?

First man:It's thermal.That means it can make distinctions based on the                                 composition of different materials underground.Does that sound useful?                    Can anybody tell us how this could be used?Woman looking for bodies                          underground?

First man:Actually,yes,that is one way it's useful.It's been used to study how                     soldiers died in the United States Civil War.Thermal archaeology,it's                             called.Scientists studied a prison camp cemetery where they had                                     exposure.They found instead that many of the prisoners died of                                     dysentery,not mistreatment,and they found that there significantly fewer                     bodies than previously thought.

Woman:It's unbelievable that they could tell all that from a photograph through                     dirt.

First Man: It is,but the scientists were able to conclude what happened because of                         this camera.There are many possible uses,and historians should be                                 able to obtain all kinds of information that they couldn't get before.

Second Man:Have they successfully used it on anything else?

First Man:Yes,Archeologists have obtained information on a bloody Civil War                             battle in Tennessee in 1862. They have even studied a culture that lived                     in 1200 A.D.on the same spot as that Civil War battle;they found the                             culture's remain's     undermeath evidence of the battle.Scientists have                         also determined the agricultural terrain in Egypt 2000 years ago,and                         they've found polar bear dens beneaths the snow.And the same                                     technology can be used to film night battles,locate leaking     water                                 within rock walls,and navigate smoky buildings.It does not replace good                       old- fashioned digging with a showel and brush,but it narrows down                             the area and provides a lot of help.
