used the vacuum tube to study fluorescence, in 1870 he called these discharges cathode rays.
Johann Wilhelm Hittorf
In 1870, redesigned the vacuum tube and discovered that cathode rays were streams of charged particles.
William Crookes
In 1894, discovered that cathode rays could penetrate a thin window of aluminum foil built into the walls of the glass tubes and cause fluorescent screens to glow.

X-radiation
a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows on photographic film or digital sensors
X-ray
the science or study of radiation as used in medicine
Radiology
A two- dimensional representation of a three- dimensional object (this is the actual picture)
Radiograph
a photographic image produced on an image receptor by the passage of x-rays through teeth and related structure
dental radiograph
the art and science of making radiographs by the exposure of film to x-rays
radiography
the production of radiographs of the teeth and adjacent structures by the exposure of an image receptor to x-rays
