Rontgen Centennial - X-rays In Natural And Life Sciences

To honour W.C. Rontgen and review the entire area of X-ray development in the various fields of natural, technical and life sciences, his successors at the Physikalisches Institut of the Universitat Wurzburg organized a conference, named Rontgen Centennial . It took place at the Physikalisches Institut , where over 40 leading scientists were invited as representative speakers in the various subfields of X-ray activities. They reviewed the development, gave examples and described the present status. Most of them provided survey articles, which are gathered in this book. Since most X-ray-related activities are somehow represented, an almost complete overview of the entire field is provided. This book thus represents the breadth of X-ray activities and allows one to recognize the potential and quality of modern X-ray research.
