Rutherford and Geiger in laboratory
Ernest Rutherford (left) & Hans Geiger in their laboratory at Manchester University in about 1908. They are seen with the instrumentation they used to detect & count alpha particles from a radio- active source. The experiment led to Rutherford identifying alpha particles as helium ions (they were later shown to be helium nuclei). Rutherford (1871-1937) elucidated the nature of radioactivity & the structure of the atom. Born in New Zealand, he worked in England & Canada & was the greatest experimental physicist of his day. Geiger (1882- 1945) was a German who is best known for his invention of the Geiger counter. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © PROF.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1908 in a bustling laboratory at Manchester University. The two figures that dominate the frame are none other than Ernest Rutherford and Hans Geiger, pioneers of scientific exploration. With their eyes fixed on the instrumentation before them, they embark on an odyssey of discovery. The purpose of their experiment is clear - to detect and count alpha particles emitted from a radioactive source. Little did they know that this groundbreaking endeavor would lead Rutherford to identify these particles as helium ions, later revealed to be helium nuclei. This monumental revelation would forever change our understanding of atomic structure. Ernest Rutherford, hailing from New Zealand but making his mark in England and Canada, was undoubtedly one of the greatest experimental physicists of his time. His tireless efforts not only elucidated the enigmatic nature of radioactivity but also unraveled the intricate secrets hidden within atoms themselves. Beside him stands Hans Geiger, a German scientist renowned for his invention: the Geiger counter. Together with Rutherford's brilliance and Geiger's ingenuity, this dynamic duo pushed boundaries and paved the way for future advancements in nuclear physics. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time by Science Photo Library, we cannot help but marvel at how these two men shaped our understanding of science itself. Their legacy lives on through their contributions to unraveling atomic mysteries while inspiring generations to explore uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge.
