Morphology
atmoradiograph = radiograph (semi-transparent) = atmo + radio + graph
The word appears to be a prefixal modification of radiograph, but it is a specialized technical term rather than a fully everyday formation.
Etymology
The word atmoradiograph joins three parts: atmo- meaning 'air', as in atmosphere; radio- meaning 'radio waves', as in radio; and -graph meaning 'to write or record', as in photograph. So an atmoradiograph is a machine that 'records' electrical or radio disturbances in the air, which explains its modern meaning.
