1. A method for exposing an object to X-rays comprising the steps of:providing an X-ray machine including an X-ray tube equipped for emitting X-rays with an energy lower than or equal to 70 keV and a phototimer coupled to said X-ray tube for switching said tube on and off in accordance with an X-ray dose in the range from 0.75 up to 0.85 mR reaching said phototimer,placing an object between said X-ray tube and said phototimer,placing a cassette with a binderless storage phosphor panel or screen between said object and said phototimer andactivating said X-ray tube for exposing said object, said cassette and said phototimer until said phototimer switches said X-ray tube off, wherein said binderless storage phosphor panel comprises a vacuum deposited phosphor layer (1) on a support (2), and wherein said support includes a layer of amorphous carbon (23) having a thickness between 500 μm and 2000 μm. 2. Method according to claim 1, wherein said support further includes a reflective auxiliary aluminum layer (22) with a thickness between 0.2 μm and 200 μm. 3. Method according to claim 2, wherein said support further includes a protective auxiliary layer (21) between said reflective auxiliary layer and said phosphor layer. 4. Method according to claim 3, wherein said protective auxiliary layer (21) is a layer of parylene wherein said parylene is selected from the group consisting of parylene C, parylene D and parylene HT. 5. Method according to claim 4, wherein said phosphor layer comprises a needle shaped CsX:Eu phosphor, wherein X represents a halide selected from the group consisting of Br and Cl. 6. Method according to claim 5, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 7. Method according to claim 4, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 8. Method according to claim 3, wherein said phosphor layer comprises a needle shaped CsX:Eu phosphor, wherein X represents a halide selected from the group consisting of Br and Cl. 9. Method according to claim 8, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 10. Method according to claim 3, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 11. Method according to claim 2, wherein said phosphor layer comprises a needle shaped CsX:Eu phosphor, wherein X represents a halide selected from the group consisting of Br and Cl. 12. Method according to claim 11, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 13. Method according to claim 2, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 14. Method according to claim 1, wherein said support further includes a protective auxiliary layer (21) between said reflective auxiliary layer and said phosphor layer. 15. Method according to claim 14, wherein said protective auxiliary layer (21) is a layer of parylene wherein said parylene is selected from the group consisting of parylene C, parylene D and parylene HT. 16. Method according to claim 15, wherein said phosphor layer comprises a needle shaped CsX:Eu phosphor, wherein X represents a halide selected from the group consisting of Br and Cl. 17. Method according to claim 16, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 18. Method according to claim 15, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 19. Method according to claim 14, wherein said phosphor layer comprises a needle shaped CsX:Eu phosphor, wherein X represents a halide selected from the group consisting of Br and Cl. 20. Method according to claim 19, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 21. Method according to claim 14, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 22. Method according to claim 1, wherein said phosphor layer comprises a needle shaped CsX:Eu phosphor, wherein X represents a halide selected from the group consisting of Br and Cl. 23. Method according to claim 22, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 24. Method according to claim 1, wherein said support further includes a polymeric auxiliary layer (24) farther away from said phosphor layer than said layer of amorphous carbon. 25. Method according to claim 1, wherein said method is a mammographic application method.
