Q

He was a german mechanical engineer and
physicist, who, on 8 november 1895, produced
and detected electromagnetic radiation in a
wavelenght range known as x-rays or

Q

In 1913, he unveiled his hot-cathode x-ray tube to the medical community. It was immediately recognized as far superior to the Crookes tube. It was a vacuum tube that allowed x-ray intensity and energy to be selected separately and with great accuracy. X-ray tubes in use today are refinements of the Coolidge tube.
