　　Xrays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Konrad Rontgen, in 1895, almost by chance.

　　While he was experimenting with electric current through certain gases in a special glass tube, Rontgen happened to notice that, even when the tube was covered with black paper, some strange kind of radiation was coming through and making a screen nearby glow. Then he put the screen in the next room of a close door, the screen was still glowing. The screen showed that the strange rays could not only pass through black paper but also wood.
