"Discovery of x-rays"
"Arguably the most famous x-ray ever taken, that of the hand of his wife Bertha, was dated 27 December 1895. This was not the first x-ray ever taken as is erroneously believed by most. The next day, he delivered a paper titled “On a New Kind of Rays” to the Würzburg Physical-Medical Society 1. Only the first page of his original manuscript is extant; the other pages were destroyed after his death as he stipulated in his will 2."
