Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen told first, not a soul of the discovery, which he on 8. November 1895 in his laboratory at the University of Würzburg, power, and shaken him to the core. During one experiment, he filled a glass tube with inert gases and an electrical voltage between the two poles produces, begins, suddenly, a specially-coated paper to light in a few meters distance.

After further tests, x-ray notes that the paper light is off even if it is shields with wood or thick cardboard. For the physics Professor and experienced experimenter, x-ray, doesn't believe in miracles, or ghosts, is clear: He encountered a completely unknown phenomenon. He will revolutionize the medicine, he can not imagine at the time...

x-ray has been writing three research "On a new kind of rays", which he calls "X-rays". He works so thoroughly that, in spite of intensive research, after over a decade of no new knowledge can be gained. Today we know that Already, Nikola Tesla and Heinrich Hertz discovered in their experiments on the radiation – ignored but. The first x-ray detects their practical importance for the diagnosis. X-ray gets in 1901, the Nobel prize for physics, and deliberately dispensed with the application for a patent – so that its discovery can spread as quickly as possible.
