German scientist discovers X-rays. On this day in 1895, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1845-1923) becomes the first person to observe X-rays, a significant scientific advancement that would ultimately benefit a variety of fields, most of all medicine, by making the invisible visible.
Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick.Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray crystallography, it revealed the helical shape of the DNA molecule.atson and Crick realized that DNA was made up of two chains of nucleotide pairs that encode the genetic information for all living things.
