In 1895, the German scientist Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen started studying a new type of invisible rays. He named them 'X-rays' because, at that time, the behaviour of the rays was not completely understood. Although today, the unknown characteristics of these rays are completely clear, the terms 'X-rays' or 'Röntgen-rays' are still being used.
In hospitals, X-rays are frequently applied for visualizing bone fractures and other body parts. A human hand was the first body part imaged by Röntgen, he made an X-ray print of his wife’s hand which clearly shows the finger bones and also indicates that she was wearing a ring.
In 1901, Röntgen received the very first Nobel Prize of Physics for his pioneering research.

Accurate text, good flow and style. Coming full circle: focus on person Röntgen in the beginning, shifting to rays in the middle and back to Röntgen at the end: well done. ODP
