January 23, 1896, marked the first time that Röntgen demonstrated his discovery in public. The audience applauded as the hand of well-known anatomist Albert von Kölliker (1817-1905) was scanned, and the X-ray image was reproduced and spread not long afterward. This allowed audiences outside the technical sphere to share in the thrill – and the chill – brought by the sudden transparency of the human body.
