The mysterious rays, which could penetrate opaque materials like bone, were an instant sensation, and Röntgen's reputation as a pioneering scientist was cemented. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, whose pioneering work in physics continues to shape the scientific landscape.
