X-ray was discovered in 1895 by W.K. Rontgen. After its discovery, studies of this radiation were expanded when in 1912 Laue and Friedrich found that the atoms in crystals diffracted... 

Two fundamental discoveries about the structure of the atom and electromagnetic radiation also occurred during this period and provided a foundation for instrumentation that would be fundamental in furthering our understanding of soil chemistry. One was the discovery of X-rays, also sometimes called Rontgen rays, discovered in 1895, by W. Rontgen [24], The second was made by J. J. Thomson in 1912. He observed positive rays and described how these could be used to identify compounds and elements. Subsequently, he presented a clear description of the process in 1913. This led to the development of mass spectrometry [25],...

Applications of radiation and radionuclides for human health followed rapidly in the wake of the discovery of X-rays by Rontgen. Techniques which permitted the production of specific radionuclides in useful quantities were developed. Today, hardly a...
