Abstract
The desire to make enlarged images with X-rays is not new. Within two years of the discovery of these rays, Heycock and Neville9) published what they called micro-skiagraphs of alloys, and although with the magnifications used at that time one can hardly speak of microscopy, they laid the foundation for contact microradiography to be developed later on. The refraction of X-rays in matter was not perceptible with the apparatus available at that time, and in one of the first communications about his discovery W. C. Röntgen19) therefore concluded that lenses for X-rays could not exist.
