November 8, 1895, in Wurzburg, Germany, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1845-1923) made the invisible visible by observing the first x-ray image. Like many of history's great inventions, this was an accident. The scientist was working with cathode rays and glass when he realized that a chemically coated screen nearby was glowing.
Later, he discovered that X-rays comprise electromagnetic energy, similar to light but 1,000 times shorter.

His discovery was labeled a medical miracle, and it revolutionized modern medicine.
