About This Quote

In the early 1900s, a German physiologist named Wilhelm Roentgen was attempting to treat a family member who had cancer. While working with X-rays, he noticed a strange glow coming from his patient’s body. The glow was something unknown to him at the time, but he was able to make an interesting discovery: X-rays could reveal invisible bodies and create new ways to see other things as well. Roentgen was a pioneer in the field of X-ray technology.
