Q

He was a german mechanical engineer and
physicist, who, on 8 november 1895, produced
and detected electromagnetic radiation in a
wavelenght range known as x-rays or
roentgen rays, an achivement that earned him
the inaugural nobel prize in physics in 1901.

Q

He found that by exposing two glass x-ray
plates with the emulsion surfaces together,
exposure time was halved, and the image was
considerably enhanced.

Q

He experienced a severe x-ray burn that
eventually required amputation of both arms.
He was an American glassblower, noted as an
assistant to Thomas Edison in his work on X-

used x-rays to image a teeth and found
that restricting the x-ray beam with a sheet of
lead and with a hole in a center, a diaphragm,
and inserting a leather or aluminum filter
improved the diagnostic quality of radiographs.

Q

In 1907, he introduced a substitute high-voltage
power supply, an interruptless transformer. It
was not until the introduction of Coolidge tube
that the Snook transformer was widely
adopted.

Q

In 1913, he unveiled his hot-cathode x-ray tube to the medical community. It was immediately recognized as far superior to the Crookes tube. It was a vacuum tube that allowed x-ray intensity and energy to be selected separately and with great accuracy. X-ray tubes in use today are refinements of the Coolidge tube.

In 1913, he invented the stationary grid (“Glitterblende”); 2 months later, he applied his second patent for a moving grid.
GUSTAV BUCKY

In 1915, he probably unaware of Bucky’s patent because of WWI, also invented a moving grid. To his credit, Potter recognized Bucky’s work, and the Potter-Bucky grid was introduced in 1921.
