Metal Print : Wilhelm Roentgen, German physicist
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Wilhelm Roentgen, German physicist
Illustrtion of the German experimental physicist Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, 1845-1923, discoverer of X-rays. While using a discharge tube (in which an electric discharge is passed through a gas at low pressure) in a darkened room, he noticed that a card coated with barium platinocyanide glowed when the tube was switched on. The effect was not blocked by an intervening wall, or even a thin sheet of metal. Roentgen termed this newly discovered phenomenon X-ray radiation, & suggested that it consisted of electromagnetic rays with a shorter wavelength than light. He was awarded the first Nobel Prize for physics in 1901. Illustrated by the artist Bill Sanderson 1995

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind behind one of the most groundbreaking discoveries in scientific history. Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, is immortalized in this illustration by artist Bill Sanderson. Known as the discoverer of X-rays, Roentgen's contribution to our understanding of electromagnetic radiation revolutionized medicine and physics. The image captures Roentgen at work in his laboratory, surrounded by scientific apparatuses that would eventually lead him to uncover an extraordinary phenomenon. In a darkened room, he observed how a card coated with barium platinocyanide emitted an ethereal glow when exposed to X-ray radiation generated from a discharge tube. Roentgen's discovery was nothing short of astonishing; it defied conventional wisdom about light and its ability to penetrate solid objects. He coined the term "X-ray radiation" for this new form of electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths than visible light. In recognition of his groundbreaking achievement, Wilhelm Roentgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901. His legacy continues to shape modern science and has paved the way for countless medical advancements that rely on X-ray technology. This remarkable print serves as a tribute to Roentgen's ingenuity and unwavering pursuit of knowledge. It reminds us that even in darkness, there are hidden wonders waiting to be discovered through scientific exploration.
