X rays not Roentgen's discovery half a century ago
The article argues x rays were not Roentgen's sole discovery, citing a Greece based observer in The Mechanics' Mirror from 1446 and an 1830s Greek physiologist A M Esseltja who described seeing through the body with electric light. It notes a prior claim that nerves and digestion could be observed, suggesting earlier work than Roentgen's fame.
