Imaging watermarks

Paper conservators at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston are interested
to hear from fellow conservators regarding your methods for imaging
traditional watermarks.  In particular, do you still use a beta
plate and film to capture a beta radiograph?  Have you tried to
capture radiographs with low energy X-rays?  Have you used a beta
plate in conjunction with a "digital" phosphor plate to receive the
radiograph?  We are currently navigating the transition from analog
to digital radiography, and would greatly appreciate your ideas and
suggestions.
