Synopsis
Excerpt from Roentgen X-Ray Apparatus and Accessories: Apparatus for the Generation and Application of High Frequency Currents, Apparatus for the Therapeutic Application of Light Energy
We can already speak of the history of this subject. Much, that is of a positive nature, has already been accomplished within this brief period, but the discovery has also given rise to many controversies, and to many erroneous views.
It is not just that the favorable aspects alone of such a discovery be discussed, the errors which are connected with it must also be met and disposed of.
In Roentgen': own communications concerning his discovery we can find almost all the information and observations relating to the physics of the subject which we possess from all other sources up to the present time.
The peculiarities of the x-rays, especially their diffuse reflecting properties, which have furnished such a field for work to those who have had to deal with the mechanical side of the subject are referred to in Roentgen's communications. He has explained in a brief manner and yet almost exhaustively the facts relating to their existence and their effects.
