Röntgen hurriedly prepared his notes so that his first report "On a New Kind of Rays" could be published in the Proceedings of the Physical Medical Society of Wurburg on December 28, 1895. Not knowing what these emanations were he uses the term x-ray to describe the rays he was producing.

X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen in November 1895. They are generated when a stream of electrons from the cathode of an evacuated electrical discharge tube strikes a target inside the tube. An early X-ray tube used at Dundee Royal Infirmary during the late 1890s can be ... The History of X-rays in Dundee...

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Dr. Wilhelm Rontgen of Germany. While he was doing an experiment with electricity, he noticed something very interesting. When the electricity hit the end of a closed glass tube that had no air in it, it would put out x-rays.
