You can see into and through solid matter. At a range of 20 feet, the caster can see as if she were looking at something in normal light - even if there is none. For example, if the caster looks into a locked chest, she can see inside even if there is no light within. X-ray vision can penetrate matter based upon the type of material and the caster's level, as follows:

Substance ScannedThickness per Round 1Maximum Thickness
Organic matter (animal)2 feet per 5 caster levels2 feet per caster level
Organic matter (vegetable)1 foot per 5 caster levels2 feet per caster level
Stone6 inches per 5 caster levels1 foot per caster level
Iron, steel, or other metals½ inch per 5 caster levels1 inch per caster level
Lead, gold, or platinumCannot penetrateN/A
1 Thickness penetrated per round of x-raying

It is possible to scan an area of up to 100 square feet in 1 round. For example, during 1 round, you could scan a stone wall 10 feet wide and 10 feet high. Alternatively, you could scan an area 5 feet wide and 20 feet high.

You are 90% likely to locate secret compartments, drawers, recesses, and doors using x-ray vision scanning.

Material component: A small piece of glass.
