None other than Roentgen's own wife's hand. In an era when photography was still in its infancy, Roentgen pushed boundaries and revolutionized our understanding of the human body with his invention. This early X-ray image serves as a prototype for future advancements in healthcare and technology that would transform medical diagnosis forever.
