The first x-ray machine was unveiled on January 18, 1895. The device was invented by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a German physicist who worked at the University of Würzburg in Germany. Röntgen discovered X-rays while experimenting with cathode rays. He observed that his wife's silver necklace was glowing after he had been working in his lab for hours. Excited about his discovery, Röntgen began to experiment further and realized that an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation, which he called X-rays, was being emitted from the cathode.
The first x-ray machine was a massive device that weighed over 1 ton and stood over 6 feet tall. It used a high-voltage generator to produce the X-rays, which were then directed at a fluorescent screen to produce an image. The device was not very practical for medical use due to its size and weight, but it marked the beginning of the development of modern x-ray technology.
Röntgen's discovery revolutionized medicine by allowing doctors to see inside the human body without having to perform surgery. X-rays became a crucial diagnostic tool in the medical field and have since been used to diagnose a wide range of conditions, from broken bones to cancer.

they were so heavy and big, it's crazy how far we've come in just 129 years! i mean, wilhelm conrad roentgen was a total genius to stumble upon x-rays by accident while working in his lab 
and now we have these tiny, portable machines that can take selfies with us everywhere

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was literally a genius who stumbled upon this game changing discovery by accident while experimenting with cathode rays. His wife's silver necklace was GLOWING 
Anywayz, the fact that he was able to create this massive device that could produce X-rays and help doctors see inside ppl's bodies without surgery is just wild. It's crazy 2 think about how far we've come with medical tech now. Like, we can do so much more than just x-ray bones 
. It's crazy to think about how it's revolutionized medical imaging and saved countless lives 
. And can we just give Röntgen a shoutout for being a total genius 
The fact that Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's initial x-ray machine was so huge is pretty mind-blowing 
. It's crazy to imagine having to lug around something that massive just to get an image. I'm glad he got to experiment and refine his invention so we have those sleek, portable machines we use today 
.
i mean can u even imagine working with no tech at all?! Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was literally a genius! I love how he stumbled upon X-rays by accident lol his wife's silver necklace glowing away, that's hilarious! 
we have these amazing machines that can help doctors save lives every day 
. And can you imagine having to carry around a device that weighs over 1 ton?! 
. But what I think is even more amazing is how X-rays have changed our lives, from diagnosing broken bones to detecting cancer 
. Röntgen might not have known it at the time, but his discovery was truly a game-changer! 
it was created by a german physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen and his wife's necklace was glowing after he worked in lab for hours... thats crazy!!! 
but seriously its amazing how far tech has come now. X-rays are still used to diagnose so many cool things like cancer and broken bones 
. And now we got these tiny machines that can take pics of our insides, it's wild 
. I'm glad doctors have better tools now, saves lives and all that 
. But imagine if Röntgen had some of this tech back then, he could've saved so many people's lives, RIP 
. Anyway, it's cool to see how far medical tech has come, we owe a lot to Röntgen 
). We owe Röntgen one for that discovery.
. I mean, it's crazy to think about how heavy and bulky the first machine was - can you imagine having to lug that around a hospital? 
. i was talking to my friend who's studying medicine and she said x-rays are still used all the time now, but they've gotten so much smaller and more portable since Röntgen's discovery 
! I mean, just think about how far we've come with medical imaging since then
