Abstract

The first radionuclide image was an autoradiograph of crystals of the double sulfate of uranium and potassium. It lead H. BECQUEREL to the discovery of natural radioactivity on Sunday, 1 March 1896 (1). He published it in his Nobel Lecture in 1903 (2).

Wenn die Anschauung sich nach der Beschaffenheit der Gegenstände richten müßte, so sehe ich nicht ein, wie man a priori von ihr etwas wissen könne; richtet sich aber der Gegenstand (als Objekt der Sinne) nach der Beschaffenheit unseres Anschauungsvermögens, so kann ich mir diese Möglichkeit ganz wohl vorstellen.
