    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope

    The x-ray tube was removed to render the apparatus harmless before being put on public display, due to the possible risk of radiation burn or other health problems if it were switched on. The risk of radiation burns to extremities was known since Wilhelm Röntgen 's 1895 experiment, but this was a short-term effect with early warning from ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolter_telescope

    X-ray mirrors can be built, but only if the angle from the plane of reflection is very low (typically 10 arc-minutes to 2 degrees). [2] These are called glancing (or grazing ) incidence mirrors . In 1952, Hans Wolter outlined three ways a telescope could be built using only this kind of mirror.
