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.
In the previous presentation, we discussed how x-rays were discovered and how they. are generated at the atomic level. Today we will begin the discussion on the major. components of the x-ray machine. Todayâs discussion will focus on the x-ray tube. In. the picture, you can see the technologist handling the x-ray tube. She is manipulating. the field size by adjusting a device called the âcollimatorâ which is attached to the x-. ray tube housing.
