Polaroid x-ray machine Why build when you can buy? There are still a few cool things you can find on eBay.

x-ray detector a simple, home-built detector for measuring x-ray leakage and minimum safe distances from an x-ray source Special components require only some zinc sulfide (ZnS) crystals and a photodetector.

x-ray history A nice history of x-rays

   In 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen's discovery of x-rays in this laboratory revolutionized science and medicine but did you know that x-rays may have been produced by William Morgan, a Welsh mathematician, more than a century before Roentgen's discovery?
   In 1785, Morgan was conducting experiments on electrical discharges in a vacuum when he noted that "according to the length of time during which the mercury was boiled, the 'electric' light turned violet, then purple, then a beautiful green...and then the light became invisible." Morgan's experiment was witnessed by American diplomat Benjamin Franklin, a fellow investigator in electrical phenomena.
