Barbour returned to Adelaide in April 1896. The tube was attached to an induction coil and a battery borrowed from Sir Charles Todd, Bragg’s father-in-law. The induction coil was utilized to produce the electric spark necessary for Bragg and Barbour to "generate short bursts of X-rays". The audience was favorably impressed.
In 1896, Samuel Barbour, Faulding's chief chemist, and W. T. Rowe, who had studied at the University of Adelaide under Sir William Bragg, experimented with an X-ray tube brought back from England by Barbour. The first results were rather modest as the induction coil used was only capable of a two-inch spark (around 50 kV).
He is first recorded as experimenting with X-ray in September 1896 [2] This is only 9 months after Roentgen presented his discovery of X-rays. He is reported as experimenting with the medical staff at Williamstown Hospital later that year [3] In 1900 Dr Clenndinnen was party to demonstrating X-ray at Bendigo School of Mines using a Kirkby manufactured X-ray coil, said by him that it was an ...
In March 1896, after hearing of Röntgen's discovery of X-ray and X-ray imaging (radiography), [130] Tesla proceeded to do his own experiments in X-ray imaging, developing a high-energy single-terminal vacuum tube of his own design that had no target electrode and that worked from the output of the Tesla coil (the modern term for the phenomenon ...
On the late Friday evening of 8. November 1895, Röntgen discovered for the first time the rays which penetrate through solid materials and gave them the name X-rays.He presented this in a lecture and publication On a new type of rays - Über eine neue Art von Strahlen on 23 January 1896 at the Physical Medical Society of Würzburg.
In January 1896, Slattery read in local newspapers of Wilhelm Röntgen's breakthrough: “A new photographic discovery” and focused his pursuits on radiography. [7]He read of events in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney and on 25 July 1896 he took a radiograph of the hand of 12-year-old Eric Thompson, enabling the surgeon Dr. Edmunds to extract shotgun pellets from the hand.
The New Photography; Sutton was the first in Brisbane to demonstrate X-Rays and X-Ray photography, only four months after Roentgen's discovery 29 February 1896. Prof. Lyle being the first in Australia on 4 April 1896, followed by Prof. Bragg 30 May 1896.
