Art of Roentgens X-ray apparatus for imaging hand
Roentgens X-ray machine. Drawing of the X-ray machine used by German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen to produce images of the hand. The generator (B) supplied a high voltage to the cathode ray tube (Crookes tube) at upper right (T). This tube produced X-rays which left an image of the hand on a covered, photographic plate (C). Roentgen had discovered X-rays on 8 November 1895. In the following weeks he made images of many objects including, after a 15 minute exposure time, his wifes hand. This, the first-ever X-ray of part of a human, showed the outline, bones and metal jewellery of the hand. Medical radiography is now widespread. Image of an 1895 machine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking "Art of Roentgens X-ray apparatus for imaging hand". The image depicts the revolutionary machine used by German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen to capture the first-ever X-ray of a human body part. In 1895, Roentgen discovered X-rays and quickly began experimenting with his invention. This particular drawing illustrates the intricate workings of his apparatus. At the heart of this extraordinary device is a generator (B) that supplies high voltage to a cathode ray tube (Crookes tube) located at the upper right corner (T). It is within this tube that X-rays are generated, ultimately leaving an imprint on a covered photographic plate (C). The result? A mesmerizing image revealing not only the outline but also bones and even metal jewelry present in Roentgen's wife's hand. Roentgen's groundbreaking discovery paved the way for medical radiography, revolutionizing healthcare as we know it today. This historical artifact serves as a testament to his immense contribution to medicine and our understanding of human anatomy. As we gaze upon this early masterpiece, we are reminded of how far technology has come since its creation in 1895. This artwork encapsulates both scientific ingenuity and artistic beauty, making it an invaluable piece from Science Photo Library's collection.
