Manuscripts
The collection consists of articles, correspondence, chiefly written by or to Otto Glasser, photographs, pamphlets, X-rays, and, an X-ray tube used by Röentgen. There are several copies of the X-ray Röentgen took of his wife, Anna Bertha's hand on December 22, 1895, and an X-ray of the hand of a gunshot victim, taken by Michael I. Pupin in February 1896. Correspondents include Thomas Edison, Bern Dibner, Wilhelm Conrad Röentgen, Arthur R. Von Hippel, and numerous other scientists and physicists. There are several articles written by, as well as X-rays done by, Wolfram Conrad Fuchs, a German electrical engineer who became a pioneer in radiography.
