Wasn't it Roentgen's own hand -- showing a ring on his finger?

That's ok DG I did it, and change the way the question was built up and erased the link .

At first I tried to make it a visual trivia but the pic. was too heavy I guess.

Prof, you have the right answer as far as the "hand" was the body part, but it wasn,t it's own.

OK, I looked it up -- it was Röntgen's wife's hand -- with rings. Brave woman! ("Over here, Dear, I'm studying these mysterious death rays -- let's see what they do to your hand...")

Sorry I don't know how to reduce the size of this image:

BTW ,In 1901 Wilhelm Röntgen was awarded the very first Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery. Here's to back up Professor's answer Source ( it could take a few seconds to show up).
