English term

double cross marking transparency

English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) textile engineering
By enlarging the
photograph to a scale of 200:1 (the exact scale was
determined by direct measurement of the scale bars as
shown in figures 5.14 and 5.15 which were magnified
with the same extent as the yarn cross-section), eight
boundary points of each fibre was digitized with the aid
of a double cross marking transparency.

an 8 point cross same as used when using Xray equipment

a double X is an 8 point x (Cross) it is a transparent mark which divides the test section into 8 pie sections for a closer examination of the fiber.

When you have an X ray done the X ray has these 8 sections marked for the Doctor to check and use as a guide when he/she is commenting on the findings to a specialist or the GP.

This is why they mention 8 boundary points.

This doesn't really show what I was looking for but it gives you the idea of the cross and how it divides the sections.

I think the above article is almost identical to the one you are working on Cristina, the photos and the fact they are discussing rotational yields of fiber, is the same as your previous questions. Maybe it has all your answers... Good luck with it.
