of 1985, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen was experimenting in his laboratory with a Crookes tube. The Crookes tube was developed by English physicist William Crookes. A Crookes tube is a gasless, glass container that contains a negatively charged cathode and a positive charged anode with an induction coil to carry a current. Roentgen discovered that when a high voltage was applied to the tube, it emitted an invisible source of beams that led a fluorescent screen to glow. This fluorescent
Wilhelm Conrad RÖntgen 1845 - 1923 Wilhelm Conrad Ršntgen is a German physicist who was born on March 27, 1845 at Lennep in Germany. When he was three years old, his family moved to Apeldoorn in The Netherlands, where he attended a boarding school, the Institute of Martinus Herman van Doorn. While he was attending this school, he was very interested in making mechanical devices. This interest of his followed him through the rest of his life. Ršntgen later entered a technical school at Utrecht
During the cold winter of 1895, a German scientist by the name of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen was working with a cathode-ray tube when he noticed nearby crystals were glowing. When Roentgen reached for the crystals he was amazed when the shadow cast on the crystal was not of his whole hand, but just his bones. Roentgen covered the tube with heavy black paper and saw that the crystals still glowed and the shadow of his hand bones still shown through, he then determined that a new ray was being emitted
The cathode ray tube was invented in 1875 by the name of Sir Williams Crooke. Yet he wasn’t the one to make the big discovery. In 1897, a man by the name of J.J. Thompson conducted a series of experiments to prove the existence of subatomic particles. He wasn’t 100% correct with all of his claims he made but broke the theory John Dalton stated that the smallest form matter could be broken down to was an atom. Having shown the world that there was smaller than an atom, it later caused others to question
One might ask, what is Spectral Computed Tomography (CT)? Spectral CT is a way for us as health professionals to add diagnostic value to our exams by using the full spectrum of an x-ray beam. To summarize, “Spectral CT acquires data sets at both low- and high-kVp settings” (Lentz 2014). Spectral CT was first studied back in the 1980’s, but Stefan Ulzheimer, PhD, said, “Because of various hurdles, it never made it into clinical practice” (Lentz 2014). John W. Steidley, PhD, states in his article Exploring
beam on the inside of the vacuum tube, known as a radiograph. Lungs look black on an radiograph because the deal with air and air absorbs the least x-rays. One week after the discovery of the x-ray, William took an x-ray of his wife’shand that revealed her wedding ring and her bones. The radiograph electrified the public and caused scientific interest in the new way of radiation. William Coolidge invented the x-ray tube. Back then it was known as the Coolidge tube. His invention sparked the generation

Make sure there is no potato skin on the cores 4. Fill a test tube with 10cm³ of distilled water (0m) 5. Fill another test tube with 9cm³ of distilled water, and 1cm³ of sucrose (0.1m) 6. Fill another test tube with 8cm³ of distilled water, and 2cm³ of sucrose (0.2m) 7.
solution into a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. We hope to achieve this by doing four experiments using distilled water in one test tube and different concentrations of salt water in the other test tubes. Once done, we will measure the change in mass. Prediction I think that the potato that is put in the test tube with water in will gain in mass. I think that the potato put into the salt solution will loose in mass. The higher the concentration of salt the, the more
The beetroot piece is then placed into a tube of 5 cm of distilled water. This procedure will be repeated with the other four pieces of beetroot and the temperature should be changed accordingly. The temperatures will be using are 20oC, 40oC , 60oC and 80oC Each time a piece of beetroot is removed from the heated water, it will be left in the distilled water for exactly 30 minutes, before being discarded. The fluid in each of the test tubes will be analysed using a colorimeter and
give us a clear set of results which will enable us to draw a clear graph and we shall therefore be able to find dynamic equilibrium. Preliminary Apparatus: - 3 test tubes - A tile - Forceps - Scalpel - Syringe - Measuring cylinder - 3 different sucrose concentrations (0%, 8.5%, 17%) - A test tube rack - A ruler - Potato - Potato corer Method: - to begin our experiment we took 3 potato cores from the potato using a potato corer. - We then measured these

correct temperature. The water was put into a beaker. 5ml of starch was put into a test tube. The test tube was placed into the beaker. When the water in the beaker was at the required temperature the stop clock was started. After one minute 1ml of amylase was put into the test tube with the starch using a syringe or pipette. As soon as the amylase and the starch had mixed a sample was taken from the test tube using a pipette and mixed with the droplets of iodine in one of the chambers of the

“Three Musketeers”. In Roland’s mind, Billy had broken them up, he had severed the connection between the greatest fighting force in the army. “Weary drew back his right boot aimed a kick at the spine, at the tube which had so many of Billy’s important wires in it. Weary was going to break that tube”(51). A horrible and saddening event that even the U.S. A. would hide for twenty-three years from the people of its own nation. The bombing of Dresden was the major cruelty for the simple reason that it killed
As I looked out the window of the restaurant, I could see the sun bouncing off the sparkling water below. Boats and other water craft scatter the water as well as people on water-skis and inner tubes. The picturesque view makes life seem so much better and just looking at the river makes a person calmer. The scene just described is the view from the window of a restaurant called Sophia in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the corresponding river is the mighty Mississippi. Although Minnesota is the land

Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory system that leads to inflammation of the bronchial tubes, resulting in difficulty carrying air to the lungs. Asthma greatly affects an individual’s breathing, and can place severe restrictions on daily life. During asthma attacks, which may be triggered by weather, allergens, exercise, the individuals’ ability
