The image of the Man on the Shroud is anatomically correct. In a photograph the outlines are also clearly visible.ħ.ANATOMICALLY CORRECT. Artists normally use outlines when drawing an image of a person. The image does not show any outlines and fades away in the surrounding Shroud. It seems that part of the “energy” that caused the image had long wavelength X-Ray properties.Ħ.NO OUTLINES. In the image of the hands, the metacarpalia are visible like on an X-Ray photograph. While studying the image on the ENRIE photographs, Prof Alan Whanger observed that in the face the sinuses were visible and also part of the teeth. There is also an absence of brushstrokes.ĥ.X-RAY PROPERTIES. The image on the Shroud does not show this characteristic and it seems that the image was formed straight up- and down, which is called “COLLIMATED”. In a photograph one can observe a directionality, which means that you can see from which direction the light came that caused the shadows and light areas. According to Kevin Moran, on the sides of the fibers the image is like cut with a knife, visible with precision microscopy, so no image on the backside of the fibers.Ĥ.NO DIRECCIONALITY. Every yarn is composed of 70-120 linen fibers each 0.25-0.3 mm. It is important to note that these individual fibers of the threads are 10 to 20 times thinner than a human hair (14-8 micrometer for every fiber = 0.25-0.3 mm). These fibers are hollow, and the lumen is called medulla and shows no discoloration, and the individual fibers are all about the same color (monochromatic). The image is present only on the top two or three fibers of the threads. This light/dark and left/right reversal has not been seen in Art before the discovery of photography in the 19th century.ģ. After developing his negative glass plates, he found to his surprise that they showed a positive image of the Man on the Shroud. The image also appears more distinct at a distance and fades out when viewed at different angles, particularly as one comes close to the Shroud.Ģ.The image displays the light and dark characteristics that you normally observe in a PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE and that was discovered in 1898 when Secondo Pia made the first photographs of the Shroud. The intensity of the image shows what we call the half-tone effect and is caused by the amount of discolored fibers per square unit. The image is portrayed in variable diffuse tones of a pale brownish-yellow color (consistent with a puce color, sepia toned).
