Thank you for the detailed historical analysis of the x-rays discovery.
Beside the discovery of the electrons in cathode's rays, the biggest advancement was made by Rosalind Franklin using X-ray diffraction for photographing the helical DNA structure (the Nobel went somehow to Watson and Crick.
To this day, X-ray spectroscopy is the lead methodology for new, monthly discoveries in the fields of metallurgy, for semiconductor advancements, for the study of astronomical singularities, you tell me more.
Highly appreciated, thank you.

Some of us radiologists dont like to use the term x-ray to refer to a medical image, preferring the term radiograph or roentgenogram. In fact, if another doctor asks, Where are my patients x-rays, the more pedantic of us will say, Probably somewhere beyond Pluto, but his radiographs are right here.

Kathy, I love your videos! You do a fantastic job of providing a physics lesson with interesting and sometimes entertaining material about the people and circumstances that led to discoveries. I wasnt feeling well yesterday, so I rested in my recliner and binged on at least 10 of your videos.

Anyone who was wide awake and using a Lenard Tube could have discovered the X rays. including Lenard. Since he had the most time with the tubes you would think he could have figured it out. Seems like plenty of scientists were playing with this Lenard tube and also did not figure it out, first.

applause as always. would love a video about CT scanners first days, how the Beatles publishing company ( first with the apple) led investing, how was the computing reconstruction developed and so on.

Another fascinating video! I'm surprised that all these people exposed to unprotected X-rays didn't become disabled like the radium ladies of the 40s-50s! .or did they?

I had an old relative that told me about using that shoe x-ray machine and of course they just played with it for way too long. I kind of wish we still had those.

I Am over 70 years old. As a boy in the 1950's, I would run to the shoe x-ray machine to see my feet. Now my doctor takes 3D x-rays of my heart.

So if I got it right no one noticed for about 50 years even though they had cathode ray tubes handy. X-rays were hiding in plain sight: -)

When I see the red bell is for Kathy Loves Physics I drop the video I'm looking at or whatever I'm doing and go straight there.

You're so entertaining. Love your videos. The Electricity song makes me cringe and laugh at the same time.

I remember the x-ray machines in shoe stores. I would guess they disappeared in New Jersey in the late 1950s.
