X-ray experimentation

x射线实验

Starting in 1894, Tesla began investigating what he referred to as radiant energy of "invisible" kinds after he had noticed damaged film in his laboratory in previous experiments (later identified as "Roentgen rays" or "X-Rays").

1894年,在特斯拉注意到实验室里的在之前的实验中损坏的胶片后，他开始研究他称为“不可见”的辐射(后来定为“伦琴射线”或“x射线”)。

His early experiments were with Crookes tubes, a cold cathode electrical discharge tube.

他早期的实验使用的设备是克鲁克斯管和冷阴极放电管。

Soon after, much of Tesla's early research—hundreds of invention models, plans, notes, laboratory data, tools, photographs, valued at $50,000—was lost in the 5th Avenue laboratory fire of March 1895.

不久之后,特斯拉的早期研究里估计价值达5万美元的数以百计的发明的模型、计划,笔记,实验室数据,工具,照片等在1895年3月的第五大道实验室火灾中被烧毁。

Tesla is quoted by The New York Times as saying, "I am in too much grief to talk.

What can I say? "

《纽约时报》援引特斯拉的话说,“我悲伤至极。我还能说什么呢? ”

Tesla may have inadvertently captured an X-ray image (predating Wilhelm Röntgen's December 1895 announcement of the discovery of x-rays by a few weeks) when he tried to photograph Mark Twain illuminated by a Geissler tube, an earlier type of gas discharge tube.

特斯拉可能无意中拍摄了一个x射线图像(比1895年12月威廉伦琴宣布发现x射线早几周)，当时他试着用盖斯勒管（一种早期类型的气体放电管）照射马克•吐温来进行（X射线）拍摄。

The only thing captured in the image was the metal locking screw on the camera lens.:134

图像中捕获的唯一的东西是照相机镜头的金属锁紧螺钉。:134

In March 1896, after hearing of Wilhelm Röntgen's discovery of X-ray and X-ray imaging (radiography), Tesla proceeded to do his own experiments in X-ray imaging, developing a high energy single terminal vacuum tube of his own design that had no target electrode and that worked from the output of the Tesla Coil (the modern term for the phenomenon produced by this device is bremsstrahlung or braking radiation).

1896年3月,在听到威廉伦琴发现x射线和x射线成像(摄影)的消息后,特斯拉开始自己做x射线成像的实验,研发了一个自行设计的高能单终端无靶电极真空管,它使用特斯拉线圈输出的能量来运转(现代术语称这种装置产生的现象为轫致辐射或制动辐射)。

In his research, Tesla devised several experimental setups to produce X-rays.

在他的研究中,特斯拉发明了若干产生x射线的实验装置。

Tesla held that, with his circuits, the "instrument will ... enable one to generate Roentgen rays of much greater power than obtainable with ordinary apparatus."

特斯拉称,他设计的电路能使“这种设备比普通设备产生更大功率的伦琴射线。”
