"Non tutto si vede alla luce. O con la luce. Ogni tanto, per guardare “dentro” o “lontano” bisogna affidarsi ad altri tipi di onde elettromagnetiche, ad esempio quelle che impressionano le radiografie".
They're talking about "seeing" the Milky Way by means of the X and gamma ray radiations that are emitted from its core, from neutron stars, supernovas etc.
Does anyone know what English verb can be slipped in here?
TIA

Pauley, don't make me say the b... word again, for which I was amply reproached by the moderators, many of them and my b.. answer was obscured. B.. Google is not God, doesn't have to be right all the b... times

I admire you, Pauley for using the b.. word so freely. Could it be that we are becoming more emancipated? After all, when Eliza Doolittle said: move your bloody arse, all the horsey aristocracy imitated her.

Note from asker:
| yeah, gemma, i thought that too, but "impress x-rays" doesn't get any google hits. |
| you're right, of course, but these days a few google hits go a long way to ascertaining the relative correctness of something. zero hits says a lot, IMHO. BTW, "bloody's in the bible, bloody's in the book, if you don't believe me, have a bloody look". |
| actually, she says "blooming". http://youtube.com/watch?v=jj1wtpC-RIQ |

impress and expose are correct but do not fit your verbe tense.
