It is demonstrated in this note that optical Polaroid Land films can be used as a convenient detector in the soft x‐ray region. The performance of Polaroid 667 film has been found to be comparable to that of the Kodak direct exposure film (DEF) for soft x‐ray pinhole imaging. By a suitable choice of multiple filters, qualitative information about a dense plasma has been obtained.
