Introduction. Chaminade University, which was founded in 1955, is a private, not-for-profit university and is the only Catholic university in Hawaii.
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.
An x-ray is a form of electro magnetic radiation, with a wavelength of 10 to 0.001 nanometers (shorter than ultraviolet light).The letter 'X' comes from their initial discovery, when they were an unknown form of radiation and thus given the moniker 'X' to indicate 'unknown.'.he patient is positioned between the x-ray machine and the film. It is the x ray technician's job to properly align the patient in space in order to capture the appropriate 2-D plane. Areas not of interest should be appropriately shielded. After the beam is activated, the film is shown to the radiologist.
