Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen

Physicist who discovered X-rays

In November 1895 Röntgen noticed a screen glowing across his darkened laboratory while a covered discharge tube was running. Within weeks he had photographed the bones of his wife's hand and published a paper describing a new kind of ray.

He refused to patent the discovery, saying it belonged to humanity, and gave away his Nobel Prize money. He died nearly ruined by post-war inflation and is buried in the family grave at Giessen.
