  • in first time when Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen knows X-rays or Röntgen rays he investigated many properties of the new rays he temporarily termed "X-rays", using the mathematical designation for something unknown. Although the new rays would eventually come to bear his name in many languages as "Röntgen Rays" (and the associated X-ray ) his wife When she saw her skeleton she exclaimed "I have seen my death!"

  • That was wierd...in 1897?

  • Here's your latest 1897 clip LOL

  • fake

    

  • @raindancer9876 you must be retarded

  • 1897 was the year when Bram Stoker wrote the Dracula novel. And it wouldn't be until 25 years later when the novel was adapted into a feature film in 1922 with the release of Nosferatu. And then almost 10 years later with the first official Dracula film starring Bela Lugosi.

  • Men sure haven't changed since then, alas.

  • Hee Hee! Thought she was gonna whack him with her brolley!

  • thanks for the upoload! These movies are spellbounding!

  • that gave me a boner

  • I sincerely hope that early x-rays did not incinerate the flesh of their subjects, as depicted here.

  • Why did she slap him?

  • @LylyCSM2 he asked her if she wanted sex

  • Don't you see a filming camera from 0:09 - 0:32?

  • @TheCorkon You mean a movie camera? thats supposed to be a X-ray machine.

  • Actually entertaining...as much, at least, as can be expected from a forty-five second clip. Great piece of filming history, very glad you took the time to restore, preserve and release this, as well as the others you have done in the past, and continue to work on.

  • love it xDD

  • Cant wait for part 2

  • thats cute

  • 1897....amazing!

  • You know I've got the feeling this might just be a special effect and not x-rays at all.

  • That is pretty good for that day and age. Haha I loved it kinda funny

  • Cue the "He wants to jump her bones" jokes in 5...4...3...2..1...

  • wonderful!

  • Really amazing. I'm surprised at it, to be honest. I'm currently studying physics and as I've been reading I discovered that x-rays were only discovered in 1895 by Röntgen, who didn't receive the Nobel Prize until 1901. It's funny how this video would be posted, seeing as I just read about this yesterday.

    Well, I digress. Marvelous video.

  • @PhilWithCoffee rontgen developed the first xray machine in 1895 however they were trying to develop xrays for years previously, simmilar to the wright brothers being the first to fly in 1903 yet previous to that there were numerous other attempts. rontgens early xray machines were like modern day gas chambers. it wasent untill circa 1921 that they became safe to use.

  • @hargohargo Debatable... Roentgen discovered x-rays. Others got radiation-exposed plates before then, but didn't 'get it'. Around 1921 or so is when x-ray tubes, previously used bare, started to get protected with lead, but at first it was only lead glass. Until the early sixties, nearly all diagnostic x-ray machines had fluoroscopes, which had much higher dosage rates since you left the beam on for a while rather than less than a minute for still shots.

  • incredible footage thanks

  • that guy is freaking out lol .his dead now

  • So cool!

  • Amazing XXXX

  • brilliant stuff
