[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 564727, member: 13556"] I just looked the brushes up online and I believe I remember seeing these being used in the past for removing dust from negatives and carriers on enlargers. You're absolutely correct that they were built to minimize the danger of direct contact with anyone and that they were designed to nearly eliminate the danger or either eating or breathing the Polonium or any byproducts of its decay. It does appear that if they are still made, and can be purchased in the US without registration, but they appear to be pricey (on Amazon.com). I'll pass, and instead buy the next larger model of the Rocket Blower!! ;) Thanks for bringing the item up, though, it's an interesting subject to look into. WM [/QUOTE]
